After leading Temple Health for more than five years, MIchael Young is stepping down.

The Philadelphia-based health system has named Young’s successor. Abhi Rastogi will be Temple Health’s new president and CEO.

Rastogi most recently served as president and CEO of Temple University Hospital and chief operating officer of Temple Health; he was just named COO of the system last month. He will continue to lead Temple University Hospital while serving as CEO of Temple Health.

“Temple Health is strongly positioned for the future, and Abhi is the right leader to continue our strategic path and build on what we have already achieved,” Young said in a statement. “Working with Temple’s dedicated caregivers, clinicians, and professional services teams has been the greatest honor of my career.”

Rastogi said he is “honored and humbled to serve as CEO of Temple Health.”

“From the bedside to our leadership teams and every department that supports our mission, Temple Health is strong because of its people,” Rastogi said in a statement. “We play different roles, but we are united by a deep commitment to our patients and an innovative, forward-looking approach that drives our momentum.”

Rastogi is a graduate of Temple’s Fox School of Business, and he has spent more than 20 years with Temple Health.

Temple University President John Fry hailed Rastogi’s experience and his deep ties to Temple.

“Abhi is a Temple Made leader. This internal transition demonstrates stability, strength, and continuity of purpose at Temple Health,” Fry said in a statement. “Abhi is highly respected within the Temple community, known for his passion, integrity, and shoulder-to-shoulder leadership style. Working with Mike Young and the entire Health System team, Abhi has played a vital role in meeting Temple Health’s mission and achieving sustainable growth.”

Young came to Temple in 2018, initially serving as chief operating officer. He was named CEO of Temple University Hospital in 2019 and became CEO of Temple Health in 2020.
