Kevin Klockenga named President and CEO of Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital

Kevin A. Klockenga has been appointed President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital. Klockenga will succeed long-time Henry Mayo President and CEO Roger E. Seaver, who will retire this spring after more than 22 years with the hospital.

“We are pleased to have Kevin Klockenga join Henry Mayo during this very challenging yet exciting time in healthcare,” said Henry Mayo Board of Directors Chair Chris Luechtefeld. “Our nationwide search generated interest from a large number of highly-qualified candidates. We believe Kevin is the right executive to lead Henry Mayo as the hospital continues to expand to meet the needs of our growing community.”

Most recently Klockenga served as Chief Executive Officer and System Executive Vice President for the Northern California region of the Providence Saint Joseph Health System, a position he held for ten years. The Providence Northern California region consists of six acute care hospitals (including three trauma centers), five ambulatory surgery centers, four urgent care centers, and a number of other facilities.

While at Providence Klockenga oversaw significant growth in Providence’s services through investments in new services and various acquisitions. He led a number of successful quality initiatives and helped position the organization to be successful in population health.

“Our Board was particularly impressed with Kevin’s experience in leading growth while focusing on quality initiatives,” said Luechtefeld. “Henry Mayo is dedicated to continuous improvement and his guidance will enhance our efforts.”
