Michigan Medicine names new chief human resources officer

Michigan Medicine has named Deloris (Dee) Hunt, M.S., as  chief human resources officer, effective Feb. 19.

Hunt brings more than 20 years of human resources executive experience in the health care industry, most recently at the Detroit Medical Center. During her 12 years as DMC’s chief human resource officer, Hunt led the system through major changes, including ownership and personnel transition from Vanguard Health Systems to Tenet Healthcare. She was also critical in the implementation of a best-in-class leadership development program, organization-wide talent growth and development, and restructuring to enhance services while reducing costs.
 
Prior to her time at DMC, Hunt was a system director at Saint Joseph Mercy Health System for six years. In this role, she integrated the HR departments of three hospitals into a cohesive department and redesigned and trained staff to meet the business needs of the organization.

Also under Hunt’s leadership, an integrated applicant tracking, payroll and Kronos system was successfully implemented. Before joining St. Joseph, Hunt spent 20 years at Henry Ford Health System in roles with progressive and increasing responsibilities.
