LIVONIA, MICH., May 24, 2022 --- Trinity Health announced today that following a national search, Janice Hamilton-Crawford will be the new president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Trinity Health Senior Communities, effective June 6, 2022. The promotion will make Hamilton-Crawford the first Black woman to be named president and CEO of a Trinity Health national division.
Hamilton-Crawford succeeds Steve Kastner, who announced his retirement last year.
“Jan’s results-driven record combined with her character makes her the perfect fit to expertly lead Trinity Health Senior Communities,” said John Capasso, executive vice president, Trinity Health and president of Continuing Care. “Her strategic thinking and natural servant leadership style will grow Senior Communities’ rich legacy of resident-centered care.”
In her new role, Hamilton-Crawford will lead more than 40 independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and subsidized senior housing communities across the United States.
Hamilton-Crawford has more than 20 years of experience in health care. She joined Trinity Health in 2018 as the first president for Senior Communities, New England Region. In the position, she built a regional network of independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and rest home communities in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Maine.
She has been instrumental in solidifying and building partnerships, including close collaborations with the Sisters of Mercy and the Sisters of Providence as well as with state and local elected officials. “Jan has keen insight into operational efficiencies and excellence without losing sight of reverence for our residents, religious communities, and colleagues,” said outgoing president Steve Kastner.
Hamilton-Crawford holds both a Master of Business Administration in Healthcare Management and a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, Texas. She completed the Women’s Leadership Program through Yale University’s School of Management.
She serves on the boards of Genesis Women’s Shelter and Support in Dallas and LeadingAge Connecticut. She is a member of Catholic Health Association’s Eldercare Advisory Council, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., North Central Texas Alumnae Chapter, and an Unstoppable Cultures Fellow.
