OSF HealthCare today announced a planned leadership transition at OSF HealthCare St. Joseph Medical Center in Bloomington, ensuring continued strong leadership and stability for patients and the community.

Eunmee Shim, president of OSF St. Joseph Medical Center, will step down from her role effective May 29. OSF HealthCare is grateful for her contributions to the Ministry and the Bloomington-Normal community.

To ensure continued strong leadership and seamless operations, Derrick Frazier, FACHE, will assume the role of president of OSF St. Joseph Medical Center in addition to his current position as president of OSF HealthCare Saint James–John W. Albrecht Medical Center in Pontiac, Illinois. These responsibilities are not new to him, as he previously served as interim president of OSF St. Joseph. He will report to Jennifer Junis, interim chief executive officer of the Eastern Region for OSF HealthCare.

“Derrick is a highly respected leader who brings a strong track record of operational excellence and a deep commitment to our Mission,” said Junis. “His leadership will ensure continued stability, alignment and momentum as we build on the strong foundation already in place at OSF St. Joseph.”

In this expanded role, Frasier will focus on strengthening alignment with systemwide strategy for OSF Healthcare while continuing to advance high-quality, cost-effective care for patients in the Bloomington-Normal community. He will also support a culture of collaboration and integration that prioritizes a safe, supportive environment for both Mission Partners and those served.

OSF HealthCare remains deeply committed to the communities it serves and to ensuring patients continue to receive compassionate, high-quality care.

In his new role, Frazier will lead OSF Saint James in aligning with the overall OSF HealthCare strategy. He will be responsible for directing internal operations at OSF Saint James and ensuring high-quality, cost-effective, and safe health care is consistently delivered.

He most recently served as chief executive officer at Morehouse General Hospital in Bastrop, Louisiana. Prior to that, he served as chief executive officer at Homer Memorial Hospital in Homer, Louisiana. Frazier earned a Bachelor of Science in biology from Savannah State University in  Georgia. He went on to earn a Master of Health Service Administration from Armstrong State University.

Frazier replaces Brad Solberg who retired in March. Liz Davidson, DNP, RN, has been serving as the interim president for OSF Saint James. She will continue to serve as vice president and chief nursing officer for OSF Saint James.
