He comes to St. Clair from Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, where he served for 17 years in a number of clinical, academic and administrative positions.

“I’m delighted to welcome Dr. Sullivan to Pittsburgh,” says James M. Collins, President and Chief Executive Officer, St. Clair Hospital. “He is uniquely qualified to lead St. Clair’s continued ascent as one of the nation’s leaders in patient safety, quality, patient satisfaction, and value.” 

Dr. Sullivan will lead initiatives in clinical program development and the recruitment of additional medical professionals as part of St. Clair’s continuing advancement and expansion of specialty services. “St. Clair offers high quality care, close to home, and in many cases the kind of specialty care that one usually can only find in a large tertiary medical center,” he states. “An array of specialty services, as well as sub-specialty services, such as cardiac imaging, electrophysiology and cardiac surgery, can be found here. I chose to come to St. Clair because of the hospital’s superb leadership; the entire management team is doing an exceptional job in quality improvement, safety, cost containment and expansion of specialty services. The fact that Mayo Clinic selected St. Clair to join the prestigious Mayo Clinic Care Network speaks volumes about the hospital’s track record of excellence.”

Dr. Sullivan received his medical degree from the University of Michigan Medical School. He completed a residency in anesthesiology at Massachusetts General Hospital, which is affiliated with Harvard University Medical School. He also has an M.B.A. degree from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois.

Alan Yeasted, M.D., F.A.C.P., who is now Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer Emeritus for St. Clair.
