"It has been the privilege of my career to return to my hometown in 2015 to lead a health system that has meant so much to me and my family,” said Mark C. Clement, TriHealth President & CEO. He added, “When I joined TriHealth, I planned to work for 6-8 more years as a CEO, with a firm commitment to do all I could to leave the organization better than when I joined it, and that time has come. Today, our patients are healthier, our care is safer, more accessible, and affordable, and our health system and providers are the most trusted and preferred in our region – and among the top ten most trusted health systems in the nation. TriHealth is stronger than ever, with exceptional leaders, team members, physicians, and board members who are all ready, willing, and able to continue our sacred work of transforming healthcare for the better.”

“During Mark’s 11-year tenure as TriHealth CEO, he has guided the health system through a remarkable journey of transformation and growth focused on ‘Getting Healthcare Right’ – right care, delivered in the right place, at the right time to achieve the right and best outcomes for our patients at the right cost,” said Mike Michael, TriHealth Board Chair. “And because of this work, coupled with a steadfast commitment to building a patient-centered, values-driven culture, TriHealth is better by every measure and is now consistently recognized as the region’s most trusted and preferred healthcare provider. So going forward, our work is to preserve and further enhance the strong organization we have built under Mark’s leadership, and Terri Hanlon-Bremer is the ideal, home-grown successor to help us do just that.”

Terri started her career in 1987 as a cardiac nurse and joined TriHealth’s leadership team in 2007, serving in leadership roles of progressively increasing responsibility. She has served as TriHealth’s Chief Operating Officer (COO) since 2022.

During Terri’s leadership as COO, TriHealth’s operations have been strengthened and enhanced to deliver industry-leading, top-decile performance in quality, service, and financial management. She has been instrumental in helping to lead system transformation through clinical redesign, achieving greater efficiency and effectiveness in care delivery. Additionally, Terri has spearheaded TriHealth’s consumerism efforts, aimed at evolving care delivery to meet the changing wants and needs of patients. Her leadership in TriHealth’s population health initiatives continues to redefine healthcare delivery by improving patient outcomes and bending the cost curve. Terri is a registered nurse with a Master’s in Nursing Administration. She has received regional and national awards and recognition for her achievements at TriHealth, including Modern Healthcare’s Top 25 Innovators Award, and is a sought-after national voice on TriHealth’s population health journey.

“It is a great honor and privilege to be chosen to lead this amazing organization, working alongside our exceptional team members, leaders, and physicians, to continue to advance our mission and sacred work to improve the health of all those we serve,” said Terri Hanlon-Bremer. “Thanks to Mark’s bold vision and mission-driven servant leadership over the past 11 years, we have built an organization, a culture, a team, and a path forward that can – and does – transform healthcare for the better. So, this transition is not about reinvention. It’s about staying the course, preserving what we’ve worked so hard to create, and continuing to invest in our people and our culture, and relentlessly improving everything else – all to ensure TriHealth is truly built to last for decades to come. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve in this important system role and look forward to building on the lasting legacy of getting healthcare right that Mark and our 14,000 team members and physicians have built together over the past decade.”
