Madison, WI – Group Health Cooperative of South Central Wisconsin (GHC-SCW) is pleased to name Kristin Lueschow, RN, MSN as Chief Nursing Officer (CNO).
Lueschow has more than 20 years of experience in the health care field and previously served as Director of Clinical Operations. In that role, she established herself as a collaborative, insightful leader and built a great sense of camaraderie and a shared vision among the teams she works with at GHC-SCW.
In her new role, Lueschow will lead nursing and reception teams, as well as work closely with fellow senior leaders, to maintain the high quality of care GHC-SCW patients have come to expect.
