Andrea Burch, MS, RN, NEA-BC, has been named president of Lutheran Medical Center in Wheat Ridge. She has been serving as Lutheran’s interim president since February when Scott Peek transitioned to the president at Saint Joseph Hospital in Denver. He is also Intermountain Health’s Front Range Market president.
Burch will continue to support Lutheran’s integration into the Intermountain Health system and will lead Lutheran’s move to its new replacement home at Clear Creek Crossing in Wheat Ridge later this summer.
“Andrea’s experience leading Lutheran’s operations and nursing staff, as well as her outstanding leadership of the upcoming move, will serve Lutheran, its caregivers and the community in a bright new future full of opportunity,” Peek said.
“Lutheran is near and dear to my heart, with its wonderful caregivers, unique culture, and strong community relationships,” Burch said. “Over the years, we have experienced many challenges and successes, and now look toward an exciting future. It is a deep honor and privilege to be asked to lead the organization through this next phase. I am confident that we will continue to grow and advance the excellent care our community expects from us.”
