HUTCHINSON — Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System (HRHS) announces the permanent hiring of Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) Jed Liuzza. This change will take effect on Sept. 18. Liuzza’s responsibilities will include Human Resources, Quality, Risk Management, Compliance, Infection Prevention, Marketing and the Foundation.

Liuzza began working as Interim CHRO for the system back on March 13th of this year. He comes with more than 25 years of experience in leadership roles within varying healthcare systems. Prior to coming on board at HRHS, he was the Regional Vice President-Human Resources for SSM Health in Oklahoma City, Okla.

In his time here, so far, Liuzza rebuilt and structured a new human resources team. This sets up every team member of the organization with resources and business partners to assist in their success within their role and system. In addition, he has launched a reform of a multifaceted software system that provides great efficiencies across multiple departments including finance, supply chain and HR. This will result in financial savings, streamlined workflows and empowerment to all team members. 

“I fully believe that what Jed has already accomplished for HRHS is just a prelude to what is to come from his leadership over our human resources department,” state Nick Baldetti, Acting CEO. 

“Having Jed come on board permanently is a huge win for the organization and for our future strategic plans.”

Liuzza holds a bachelor’s degree in management from the University of New Orleans and a master’s degree in health administration from Capella University, as well as two post-graduate certifications in Human Resources.
