Northeast Georgia Health System has named Brian D. Steines as its new chief financial officer.

Steines holds a master’s degree in business and health care administration from the University of Phoenix. He also holds a bachelor’s degree in business and public administration, accounting from the University of Arizona. Steines is also a certified public accountant.

Most recently, Steines served as chief financial officer for University of Missouri Health Care and the MU School of Medicine in Columbia, Mo.

Prior to that, Steines served as the vice president of financial operations for Scottsdale Lincoln Health Network’s Arizona Market — an integrated delivery network that includes five acute care hospitals with 1,362 licensed beds and $1.5 billion in net revenue.
