(Press-News.org) NEW ORLEANS, La. – Ochsner Health has named Jim Molloy as the organization’s next Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. A leader at Citi bringing decades of extensive experience in healthcare finance, Molloy will oversee the organization’s accounting, financial planning and analysis, reimbursement and revenue cycle functions, as well as managed care contracting and treasury. He will also play a pivotal role in the continued development and execution of Ochsner’s strategy as the health system builds on its clinical excellence and spirit of innovation to evolve the future of healthcare delivery.
In his current role as the Managing Director and Head of Municipal Banking at Citi, Molloy has been a key advisor to Ochsner for several years and has spent more than 16 years overseeing banking for all municipal-related activity, including public finance, healthcare, higher education and public-private partnerships.
“I’ve had the great fortune to work with Ochsner Health for more than 20 years in various strategic and financial advisory roles and have always been awed by their dedication to providing high-quality care to millions of patients and families. I look forward to being able to dedicate all of my future efforts to help Ochsner further expand its impact on the communities it serves and am honored to have the opportunity to join such an amazing team of clinicians and employees,” said Molloy.
Molloy brings 30+ years of healthcare experience, working with some of the largest health systems in the country. He has expertise in capital structure and strategic planning and has led the promotion of transparency and communication between non-profit health systems and the investor community. Prior to joining Citi, Molloy worked in senior positions in the consulting division of a Big 6 accounting firm and a rating agency.
Molloy will join Ochsner in July 2023 and work side-by-side with Ochsner’s current CFO, Scott Posecai, who will retire as CFO in December 2023, following a 36-year career with Ochsner. Through a variety of financial and leadership roles, Posecai has been instrumental in Ochsner’s ability to serve more patients across the Gulf South region. The leaders will work together through the end of the year to ensure a seamless transition.
“We are so excited to welcome Jim to the Ochsner family. He is the right person to lead Ochsner Health from a financial perspective as we work to transform healthcare for the communities we serve. We are confident our organization will benefit from his talents, expertise and passion for our mission,” said Ochsner Health Chief Executive Officer Pete November. “We also want to express our profound gratitude for Scott Posecai’s decades of leadership at Ochsner as the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, in addition to his impactful work to advance Ochsner’s value-based care initiatives through insurance product development, risk-based contract performance, Ochsner Health Network support and the recent start-up of the Ochsner Health Plan.”

Gentle cleansers kill viruses as effectively as harsh soaps, study finds
2023-06-13
Gentle cleansers are just as effective in killing viruses – including coronavirus – as harsh soaps, according to a new study from scientists at the University of Sheffield
Healthcare professionals often substitute alcohol-based hand sanitisers and harsh soaps for skin-friendly cleansers in order to treat or prevent irritant contact dermatitis, which develops when chemical or physical agents damage the skin surface faster than the skin can repair
Incidence and severity of irritant contact dermatitis increased from 20 per cent to 80 per cent amongst healthcare professionals during the Covid-19 pandemic

Where there’s smoke are lessons in demands of global sustainability
2023-06-12
As the world struggles for sustainability in the face of climate change, wildfire smoke becomes a lesson in how people can become victims far from the root of a problem and far from their control.
In this month’s open access National Science Review, Jianguo “Jack” Liu, MSU Rachel Carson Chair in Sustainability, makes a case for the world to shake off the constraints of traditional governance, which tends to address issues in one place without considering how people or ecologies near and far might be impacted.
Justice at a global scale can be threatened when natural events or human decisions in one part of the world to protect, reroute, ...

Penile HIV infection is effectively prevented by antiretroviral treatment
2023-06-12
Of the 38 million people worldwide living with HIV, approximately 700,000 are newly infected men, primarily via sexual transmission. Sexually transmitted HIV infections in exclusively heterosexual men are acquired through the penis. In addition, semen which is produced in the male genital tract (MGT) has been recognized as the primary vector for vaginal and rectal HIV transmission. Notably, the risk of sexual HIV transmission increases with the presence of a concurrent sexually transmitted infection.
For the majority of patients, antiretroviral therapy (ART) rapidly decreases the viral load in blood and semen, ...
