DeVoe’s extensive and geographically diverse
experience in for-profit health-care systems has positioned
him well to assume the top financial position in UPHS,
one of the nation’s leading academic health systems.
During his eight-year tenure with Tenet Healthcare Corporation,

before assuming the top finance job for Tenet’s

of America (of Nashville, TN).
“I am delighted to join one of the nation’s
leading academic health systems, and look forwarding
to working with the Health System’s leadership
to identify and positively exploit additional opportunities
for cost-savings and revenue growth,” said DeVoe.
“My previous experience in for-profit medicine
has given me a perspective that may prove valuable in
improving the fiscal operations of our health system
at the operations level.”
In 1991, DeVoe earned his bachelor’s degree in
Finance from Belmont College, in Nashville, TN. He is
a member of the Healthcare Financial Management Association;
