LITTLE ROCK - Baptist Health has named Brent Beaulieu as the system's next senior vice president and chief financial officer.

Beaulieu, who has spent 21 years in health care, joined Baptist Health in 2007 as assistant vice president of finance and was promoted to vice president of finance in 2008. He received a degree in accounting from Harding University.

Beaulieu has been an asset to Baptist Health in various finance-related positions during his more than 10 years within the system said Troy Wells, president and CEO of Baptist Health.

Beaulieu succeeds longtime senior leadership team member Bob Roberts, who formally retired as the system's chief financial officer on Friday, Jan. 18.

Replacing Beaulieu as vice president of finance is Brock Holman, who joined Baptist Health in 2012 as the leader for a newly created Managed Care/Decision Support Department.
