National Health Investors (NHI) has found its new CEO following the much publicized departure of its former chief executive, Justin Hutchens, who took over the CIO job at HCP (and dare we say the top job in a few years?). Effective October 5, Eric Mendelsohn was tapped as NHI’s CEO after already serving as interim CEO since the beginning of August. Before joining NHI as Executive Vice President of Corporate Finance in January 2015, Mr. Mendelsohn was previously at Emeritus, where, as SVP of Corporate Development, he led the way in such large transactions as the $3 billion joint venture with Blackstone and the $278 million Summerville merger. Our congratulations to Eric, well deserved.
