Memorial Health has named Sarah Matlin as its new senior vice president and chief strategy officer.
Matlin will help guide the strategic direction of Memorial Health, which includes five hospitals, along with primary and urgent care clinics, behavioral health services, and home health care across central Illinois.

She is the founder and CEO of OKTO Strategic Advisory, a firm that focuses on helping healthcare organizations innovate and transform their operations. She previously served as chief strategy officer at St. Elizabeth Healthcare, an independent health system based in northern Kentucky.

Matlin holds a bachelor’s degree in international business, economics, and German from James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and a master’s degree in business administration from Solvay Business School in Brussels, Belgium.

Memorial Health says Matlin will play a key role in shaping the organization’s long-term strategy as it continues to grow and evolve to meet the needs of patients and communities across the region.
