Patrick Kueny
Lee’s Summit Medical Center Chief Executive Officer Jackie DeSouza has appointed Lee’s Summit resident Patrick Kueny as Chief Operating Officer of the hospital effective Feb. 13.
“I’m so pleased Pat will be joining the Lee’s Summit Medical Center family,” DeSouza said. “Pat’s knowledge of HCA’s operations in the Kansas City area and his roots in Lee’s Summit make him an excellent addition to the leadership team.”
Kueny has served for the past five years as vice president of Midwest Physicians, the employed physician group of the HCA Midwest Health System. During his tenure with Midwest Physicians, he led the organization through tremendous growth and expansion. Midwest Physicians was comprised of approximately 90 physicians and mid-level providers representing nine specialties when Pat took the lead.
As he departs for Lee’s Summit Medical Center, Midwest Physicians now includes almost 300 employed physicians representing 25 specialties who care for patients at more than 80 locations across the Kansas City region.
Prior to joining HCA, Pat earned a master’s degree in public health from Emory University and formerly spent two years with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and eight years with Emory University and Healthcare. He is originally from northern Iowa, and earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Iowa.
He is married to Michele and they have two children, Sean and Clara. They have lived in Lee’s Summit for five years.
