Keck Medicine of USC, which operates three medical facilities serving Pasadena, has appointed Christian Pass as its next chief financial officer, the health system announced earlier this week.

Rod Hanners, CEO of Keck Medicine, said in a statement that Pass “has more than 30 years of health care finance leadership experience with a proven history of cultivating high-performing teams and guiding organizations through critical financial and operational transformations.”

Hanners said Pass brings “tremendous knowledge and skill” that will support the system’s continued growth.

Pass will begin the role Jan. 12. According to the release, he will oversee Keck Medicine’s strategic financial plans, financial and governmental reporting, budgeting, funds flow, revenue cycle, accounting and supply chain. He will also work closely with senior executives across the health system and the University of Southern California.

“I look forward to using my expertise to further build upon Keck Medicine’s success,” Pass said in the announcement.

Before joining Keck Medicine, Pass held senior leadership roles at Optum, most recently serving as president overseeing provider clients and payvider clients — health care organizations that both deliver care and manage the financial aspects of care. He previously held several senior financial leadership positions at John Muir Health in Northern California, culminating in his role as CFO. Pass holds a Master of Business Administration from Pepperdine University’s Graziadio Business School.

Keck Medicine operates three Pasadena locations: a 100,000?square?foot outpatient center at 590 S. Fair Oaks Ave.; an 18,000?square?foot multidisciplinary clinic at 625 S. Fair Oaks Ave., Suite 400; and an OB?GYN practice at 39 Congress St., Suite 301.

The two Fair Oaks Avenue sites work together to provide outpatient services for Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley residents, and all three accept most insurance plans through collaborations with managed care networks.
