Elliot Health System names Alisha Feightner chief strategy officer

Elliot Health System in Manchester, N.H., has promoted Alisha Feightner to senior vice president and chief strategy officer, the system announced in a June 19 news release shared with Becker's Hospital Review.

Feightner is a long-tenured internal hire. She joined Elliot in 2013 as manager of clinical outcomes information and most recently served as vice president of operational excellence and strategy. The move elevates a leader already steeped in the system's data, operations, and planning into its top strategy seat.

The appointment reflects a broader pattern at regional health systems, where chief strategy roles increasingly pair operational discipline with growth planning as hospitals navigate tight margins, shifting patient volumes, and competition for outpatient services. Promoting from within signals continuity, and it gives the strategy office a leader who knows where the system's performance levers sit. For Elliot, the test will be turning that internal knowledge into clear decisions on partnerships, service lines, and capital priorities.
