FORT WAYNE, Ind. – Aug. 6, 2025 – Parkview Health is pleased to announce the appointment of two long-standing leaders to roles overseeing Parkview Regional Medical Center (PRMC) and Affiliates in Allen County.
Jerry Grannan has been named president, and Dr. Mike Yurkanin will serve as chief physician executive, forming a dyad leadership model to guide strategic and operational efforts across PRMC and its affiliated locations.
In the dyad model, administrative and clinical leaders work as equal partners to align operational efficiency with high-quality, patient-centered care, fostering shared accountability and improved collaboration across the organization.
Grannan brings nearly a decade of experience as chief operating officer of Parkview Physicians Group (PPG), where he partnered with leaders across the health system to advance clinical excellence and drive results.
Dr. Yurkanin began serving as associate chief medical officer for PRMC and Affiliates in 2015 and was named chief medical officer in 2021. In 2023, his role expanded to include oversight of all Parkview Health hospitals. In this new role, he will continue to strengthen clinical alignment and quality across the region.
“Jerry and Mike are highly respected leaders with a deep understanding of our culture, caregivers and community,” said Dr. Ray Dusman, president of physician and clinical enterprise, Parkview Health. “Their partnership will ensure continuity and unified direction as they guide our teams forward in Allen County.”
“I’ve had the privilege of working with many of our hospital and physician teams over the past several years,” said Dr. Yurkanin. “This new structure offers an opportunity to strengthen those connections and further elevate the care we provide to our community.”
Grannan added, “I’m honored to step into this role alongside Dr. Yurkanin. We’re both committed to building on the strong foundation at PRMC and continuing to support our caregivers in delivering excellent care.”
Both Grannan and Dr. Yurkanin were nationally recognized by Becker’s Hospital Review for their leadership in 2024, respectively. Grannan was named one of the publication’s 118 COOs to Know, while Dr. Yurkanin was honored as one of 180 Chief Medical Officers to Know in 2025 — acknowledgments that reflect their impact and contributions to advancing healthcare excellence.
