CORVALLIS – The Samaritan Health Services board has selected the organization’s chief operating officer to lead the five-hospital system in Lincoln, Benton and Linn counties effective May 19.
Marty Cahill, who has been with Samaritan in various capacities since 2007, replaces Doug Boysen, who is resigning after eight years.
Cahill has a sociology degree from the University of Oregon, and a masters in business administration from Marylhurst University.
Cahill has worked for Samaritan Health Services since 2007, when he was hired as the director of physician relations for the medical staff at the five Samaritan hospitals. He served as chief executive officer of Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital in Lincoln City from 2009 to 2015. In 2013, he was appointed chief operating officer of Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital and assumed the role of its chief executive officer in 2015 until becoming chief operating officer for the system’s hospitals in late 2023.
“It is an honor to be chosen to lead Samaritan Health Services in this role,” Cahill said in a news release of his appointment. “I’ve devoted the past two decades of my professional life to supporting the mission and working collaboratively with other executives to serve our community. Together we will continue to build upon the foundation that Doug’s leadership has solidified.”
Founded in 1997, the Corvallis-based Samaritan Health Services Oregon is a nonprofit regional health system with more than 5,300 employees, five hospitals, nearly 100 medical clinics, retail pharmacies and fitness centers. Samaritan offers health insurance plans, including locally administered Medicare Advantage plans, employer group plans and a Samaritan employee plan.
