January 25, 2021 – Mike Cotton has resigned as president and CEO of SelectHealth, which offers health insurance in Utah, Idaho, and Nevada, and is part of Intermountain Healthcare.
Cotton, who joined SelectHealth in 2020, said the departure was due to family reasons. He will be relocating to Atlanta, Georgia.
Cotton’s resignation is effective January 25, 2021.
Bob White, SelectHealth’s current COO, will serve as interim president and CEO while a search is conducted for a successor.
“Mike and I have discussed various options to support him through this, such as working from Georgia, but he is clear that he needs to be fully focused on family rather than dividing his time,” said Marc Harrison, MD, president and CEO of Intermountain Healthcare. “Family health and values are foundational to Intermountain, just as they are to Mike and his family, and we understand and fully support his decision.”
