Grand Forks, ND — Edgewood Healthcare is announcing the promotion of Jill Wilson-Chandler as part of a significant advancement in its organizational structure.

In her new position, Wilson-Chandler will assume responsibility for the centralized management of all Medicare-reimbursed healthcare services within Edgewood. Her focus will be on integrating strategy and operations to ensure clinical consistency, operational efficiency, and continued excellence in patient care across all Edgewood communities.
