Ramazani will join Tulane’s executive team in early November. Ramazani will provide financial oversight to Tulane Health System’s two hospitals and more than 33 clinics.
Ramazani most recently served as chief financial officer and chief operating officer at Garden Park Medical Center in Gulfport, Mississippi, a sister HCA facility of Tulane Health System. Known as a dynamic collaborator, Ramazani served in several roles at Garden Park since 1999. As Garden Park’s chief financial officer and chief operating officer, she provided a high level of strategic and analytical healthcare financial leadership and seamlessly navigated the continually evolving and complex healthcare landscape.
