Shorett will succeed Kevin Tabb, MD, who announced in March his plan to step down. Tabb has led the system since its 2019 formation. According to *Becker's Hospital Review*, the board of directors selected Shorett after a national search.

Prior to joining BILH in 2019, Shorett was a senior partner at consulting firm Chartis, where he reportedly helped plan the system's creation. As COO, he led strategy and helped form a cancer collaboration with Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. His duties as CEO will include overseeing the ongoing integration of cancer care between BILH and Dana-Farber.
