Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) announced on Monday a new vice president to lead the Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital, where The Tennessee Star reported earlier this month that Covenant School shooter was a 22-year mental health patient, having begun receiving treatment as a six-year-old in 2001.
A March 14 news release by VUMC announced current Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital president Mary Pawlikowski planned to “retire at the end of the fiscal year,” placing her retirement date on September 30.
However, in the wake of reporting by The Star about Hale and her connections to VUMC and Vanderbilt Psychiatric Hospital, a June 24 press release announced Tanmay Mathur will be “succeeding” Pawlikowski on July 15, and added that the current president is retiring “this summer.”
