Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis gets new CEO

INDIANAPOLIS — A top administrator at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis has been named the hospital’s new president and chief executive officer.

Clarian Health Partners announced Daniel Fink’s promotion on Wednesday. Fink had been Riley’s chief operating officer since 2005.

He replaces Ora Pescovitz, who left Riley this month to become CEO of the University of Michigan Health System.

Riley is one of the country’s largest pediatric hospitals, treating more than 225,000 inpatients and outpatients a year.

But the hospital also faces financial problems from the recession that caused Clarian to stop construction work on a new 10-story, $475 million expansion at Riley.
