Bon Secours, part of Bon Secours Mercy Health, has named Pat Davis-Hagens its Hampton Roads market president.

Davis-Hagens, who has served as president of The Jewish Hospital — Mercy Health in Cincinnati, Ohio, since 2014, is expected to begin in her new role later in October.

“Pat is an integrative and dynamic leader with notable achievements that drive improved community outcomes while ensuring the patient is at the center of every decision,” said Paul Smith, Bon Secours Mercy Health group president, in a statement. “She has the benefit of building upon a firm foundation of excellence over her 15 years with the ministry, where she focused on compassionate, quality patient care and efficient, effective operations.”

Davis-Hagens joined Mercy Health in 2006 as the vice president of patient care services/chief nursing officer at Mercy Health–Fairfield Hospital in Cincinnati and has served the market in a variety of leadership roles over the last 15 years.

As market president, Davis-Hagens will oversee all Hampton Roads market operations.

“It’s an honor to continue my service to this ministry in a new capacity and work with our physicians, associates and community partners to serve the distinct needs of our patients across Hampton Roads,” Davis-Hagens said in a statement. “I am delighted to lead this team as we evolve to meet the changing needs of the communities we serve.”

Prior to joining Mercy Health, Davis-Hagens served for more than 20 years as chief nursing officer and chief operating officer, at Provena Covenant Medical Center in Urbana, Illinois.

Davis-Hagens will work closely with the board, physician and market leadership to ensure a smooth transition. Davis-Hagens holds a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Salem State College in Massachusetts and a master of business administration from Plymouth State College.
