EFFINGHAM, Ill. — HSHS St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital is pleased to announce that Angela Kelly has been named the hospital’s new executive director of operations. Kelly succeeds Michael Janis in this role, who recently began a new position as director of radiology for Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS).

As St. Anthony’s director of operations, Kelly will be instrumental in streamlining operational procedures, enhancing service delivery, and aligning hospital strategies with its long-term objectives for the following departments: lab, radiology, rehabilitation services, wound center, supply chain, food and nutrition and environmental services.
