SYRACUSE, N.Y. — St. Joseph’s Health has appointed Julie Edmunds Smith as its new director of finance.

In this role, Smith is responsible for St. Joseph’s Health’s accounting and financial operations, the organization said in a news release.

They include general finance and reporting; accounts payable; treasury management; reimbursement; and capital management for the system.

“Julie has tremendous experience and strong expertise. We are very pleased to be able to add her to the St. Joseph’s leadership team,” Meredith Price, senior VP of fiscal affairs and CFO at St. Joseph’s Health, said in the release.

Smith brings to the position more than 13 years of experience in the health-care and higher-education sectors, St. Joseph’s said.

She most recently served as a senior manager for the Atlanta, Georgia office of PricewaterhouseCoopers, where she managed the financial audits and reporting for several large health-care clients, the hospital added.

Smith, a DeWitt native, is a graduate of Le Moyne College and earned her master of business administration degree from the University of Phoenix.

Smith replaces Tracy Frank as director of finance. Frank left St. Joseph’s Health in December to become director of finance and accounting for the Northeast region at the Dairy Farmers of America, according to her LinkedIn page.
