Sutter Health names new chief operating officer
Name: Kevin Manemann
Previous title: Executive vice president and chief integration officer, City of Hope
New title: Chief operating officer, Sutter Health
Manemann, an executive with more than two decades of leadership experience in large health systems, will be Sutter Health's next chief operating officer, the Sacramento, California-based system announced Tuesday.
He'll be filling a role that's sat vacant since March, when previous COO Mark Sevco left Sutter to become the CEO of Pittsburgh-based Alleghany Health Network.
Manemann, who assumes his new role on Sept. 15, was formerly an executive at Southern California-based City of Hope, a $6 billion cancer care system. Prior to that, Manemann held several leadership roles at Providence St. Joseph Health, the third-largest nonprofit health system in the U.S. — including leading a $10 billion division overseeing Northern and Southern California.
Manemann was at Providence for more than 16 years, according to his LinkedIn.
Manemann's selection as COO is the latest in a string of executive appointments for Sutter. The system named a new chief financial officer in May, a new chief scientific officer and chief nurse officer in January, and a new senior vice president of population health in December.
At Sutter, Manemann will work closely with the system's chief physician executive to co-lead clinical and nonclinical operations, according to the release. Manemann's specific purview includes Sutter's operating structure, service lines, ambulatory surgery centers, nursing and home care.
One of his priorities will be to support Sutter's ambulatory growth plans, the release said. The system, already a powerhouse in Northern California with more than two dozen hospitals, has been steadily snapping up more of the region's care delivery market, adding roughly 1,000 doctors and advanced practice clinicians in 2024.
Sutter also opened or expanded a number of care centers last year, while announcing other capital projects, including an advanced neurological and neurosurgical care complex and a comprehensive cancer center.
The system is also pursuing growth through a joint venture with SCAN Health Plan to offer new Medicare Advantage products next year, and a deal with GE Healthcare to integrate artificial intelligence into its operations.
Amid these initiatives, Sutter's finances have remained relatively stable compared to some of its nonprofit peers, according to ratings agencies. Still, the system hasn't been immune to pressures hitting hospitals, including rising costs of labor and medical supplies.
Sutter reported $142 million in operating income in 2024, down from $320 million the year prior. Though, hefty investment income in both years hiked Sutter's profits to $1 billion and $1.2 billion in 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Sutter is also dealing with other operational challenges facing providers, including contract spats with major insurers. Sutter also been hit with multimillion-dollar settlements this year to settle legal actions over alleged anticompetitive behavior, retirement plan mismanagement and fraudulent billing for anesthesia services.

IT provider sued after it simply 'handed the credentials' to hackers — Clorox claims Cognizant gaffe enabled a $380m ransomware attack
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Popular bleach brand Clorox filed a case against Cognizant, its IT provider, after the company discovered that the latter had simply given away access credentials to hackers posing as employees. According to an NBC News Report, this breach allowed Scattered Spider, a hacking group that targets company service desks, to infect Clorox with ransomware in August 2023. This IT support gaffe allegedly resulted in around $380 million worth of damage and disruption for Clorox. Cognizant manages Clorox's internal networks, and employees who have issues with their passwords, multi-factor authentication (MFA) codes, and VPNs must coordinate with the IT provider to regain access to their system. However, Clorox alleges that the Cognizant Service Desk gave access passwords without verifying the identity of the caller. Such action would contradict the policies that have been set in place to prevent unauthorized personnel from gaining access, which Ars Technica says include an internal verification and self-reset password tool. In case the user does not have access to this, Cognizant must check their identity by asking for their manager's name and their username. This would reset their password, but it will also email the employee and their supervisor to help ensure some level of security. Low-effort social engineering win for the cyber criminals Unfortunately, this did not happen in several instances. Instead, Cognizant staff simply handed over the passwords without confirming the identity of the caller, it is claimed. One partial call transcript provides evidence of this, with the alleged hacker telling the Cognizant employee, 'I don't have a password, so I can't connect.' They then replied without hesitation, 'Oh, ok. Ok. So, let me provide the password to you, okay?' Assuming the identity of authorized personnel is one of the most basic social engineering attacks, which is why many IT companies deploy several measures against it. However, it seems that Cognizant's employees were too trusting and violated protocol, potentially leading to millions of dollars in losses for Clorox. This goes to show that no matter how robust and sophisticated your cybersecurity is, it can always be breached at its weakest point. 'Cognizant was not duped by any elaborate ploy or sophisticated hacking techniques,' the lawsuit asserts. 'The cybercriminal just called the Cognizant Service Desk, asked for credentials to access Clorox's network, and Cognizant handed the credentials right over.'
