Centura Health, Colorado's largest health system, has parted ways with its CEO. The CEO, Gregory Burfitt, left the company this week due to "differences in management philosophy," according to a Centura statement. For the time being, his position will be filled by interim president Arlen Reynolds, the chain's COO. Centura, which operates 12 Colorado hospitals, was formed as a joint venture between Denver's Catholic Health Initiatives and Adventist Health System. Burfitt has been CEO since September 2005. He previously served as COO of northern Virginia-based non-profit Inova Health System.
