Rick Barnett will retire after 6 years as CEO of Satellite Healthcare, the company announced Sept. 11.

“I join the entire board of directors in thanking Rick Barnett for his years of dedication to helping Satellite realize founder Dr. Norman S. Coplon’s vision of bringing individualized dialysis care to patients in a friendlier, more comfortable environment,” Christobel Selecky, chair of the Satellite Healthcare Board of Directors, said in a statement. “As we move forward toward our next chapter, our patients and partners can rest assured that we are well positioned to continue providing the high quality and responsive dialysis care they have come to expect from Satellite.”

Barnett’s retirement is effective Jan. 31, 2021.

In his 6 years leading Satellite Healthcare, Barnett helped to expand dialysis service to Hawaii and was “integral in making improvements to Satellite’s patient quality, service and physician relationships,” according to the company press release.

“Leading Satellite Healthcare has been the honor of a lifetime and I greatly value the work we’ve done together,” Barnett said. “I am excited about Satellite’s future and know we have been prepared for this transition, and the growth we have charted puts the company in a strong position going forward in its mission of delivering patient-centered dialysis care.”

The dialysis provider has more than 80 locations across the country and serves more than 8,000 patients, according to the release.
