Saddleback Community Hospital has added two new administrative positions to keep pace with the hospital’s growth.

Jerry Koppang, who previously worked at Mercy Services Corp., a San Diego-based medical services company, was hired to fill the new position of vice president for Saddleback Medical Ventures. He will help to coordinate the hospital’s joint ventures with doctors, which include two community urgent care centers and an outpatient surgery center.

Lori A. Teslow, formerly vice president of professional services at Long Beach Community Hospital, now holds the same title at Saddleback. Operations reporting to her include cardiac and other rehabilitation services, cardiology, home health services, radiology and the hospital pharmacy.
