Sutter Health Names Eboney Hadnott VP of Ambulatory Pharmacy

By Healthcare Technology News ·

Sutter Health has named Eboney Hadnott, PharmD, as its vice president of ambulatory pharmacy, according to Becker's Hospital Review. Hadnott announced the move Sept. 23 on LinkedIn. She most recently served as network director of ambulatory care pharmacy at Edison, N.J.-based Hackensack Meridian Health, which operates 18 hospitals.

The hire signals continued investment by large health systems in ambulatory pharmacy, the outpatient side of medication management that spans retail, specialty, and clinic-based services. As care shifts away from inpatient settings, systems like the 27-hospital, Sacramento-based Sutter are building out these programs to capture prescription revenue, improve medication adherence, and keep patients inside their networks.

Elevating a dedicated VP for the function reflects how central pharmacy has become to system strategy and margins. Specialty drug spending and 340B economics have made ambulatory pharmacy a growth priority, and experienced leaders who have scaled these operations at peer systems are in demand.
