Sherry Hausmann, regional president of Ascension Via Christi Hospitals Wichita, will start a new job next month for a recently merged health system in New Hampshire.

Hausmann, who joined Via Christi in 2011, will be the president and CEO of SolutionHealth, a nonprofit system formed last fall following the merger of Elliot Health System and Southern New Hampshire Health System.

She will start work at SolutionHealth in July.

Hausmann, a registered nurse turned hospital administrator, had oversight of Via Christi's largest hospital, St. Francis, as well as its rehabilitation and behavioral health campuses, according to Via Christi's website.

Kevin Strecker, a 19-year Via Christi executive, will serve as interim regional hospital president for Via Christi St. Francis.
