Mary Washington Healthcare’s chief medical officer, Dr. Christopher Lewis, will be leaving the organization effective Aug. 14.

Kendra Gerlach, MWHC’s vice president for marketing and corporate communications, confirmed Lewis’s departure and told the Free Press that “a transition plan is underway.” 

The healthcare system’s CEO, Chris Newman, sent a message on July 28 informing staff of Lewis’s departure.

“Please be advised that Dr. Christopher Lewis, our Chief Medical Officer for MWHC, will be leaving our organization,” Newman’s message states. “Since joining us in May of 2025, Dr. Lewis has decided to follow a new path in the Leadership Development and Coaching field.”

The Free Press reached out to Lewis but had not heard back as of publication.
