Richard Lechleiter, executive VP and CFO for Kindred Healthcare in Louisville, Ky., has announced his retirement from Kindred, effective Jan. 15 of next year.
Lechleiter, 55, has served as Kindred's CFO for more than 11 years, though he first joined the company in 1995.
“It is hard to overstate the contributions that Rich has made to our organization over the past 18 years,” Kindred CEO Paul Diaz said in a release. “Rich has earned a stellar reputation for Kindred's industry leading financial reporting and transparency, and he has led the successful financing of the company's significant growth during his long tenure. He also has played a critical role in developing our support center services that have enabled us to successfully integrate our development and acquisition activities over many years.”
A national search is planned to identify a replacement for Lechleiter.
