Plantes was chosen after a national search. He had served as senior associate dean for clinical affairs at Medical College of Wisconsin and CEO for Medical College Physicians, the college's faculty practice plan.

(the former Voluntary Hospitals of America), which included operational leadership, development and health services consultant roles serving hundreds of the VHA member health care organizations, community physicians and 18 VHA regional offices.
