MANITOWOC – Brian Graf has been appointed vice president of Froedtert Holy Family Memorial Hospital.
Froedtert ThedaCare Health made the announcement Oct. 2, stating the appointment is effective immediately.
Graf has served as interim vice president of the Manitowoc hospital since early 2025.
In his role, Graf will be responsible for planning and strategic development at FHFMH, including the advancement of new facilities, service lines, and business and community partnerships.
“I’m honored to serve the Lakeshore communities and look forward to supporting our team to ensure our services reflect the mission, vision and guiding principles of our health system,” Graf said in a news release.
“With Froedtert Holy Family Memorial Hospital’s 126-year legacy of providing high-quality local care, I’m excited to build on that foundation as part of Froedtert ThedaCare Health — expanding access to care and strengthening community services to better meet the needs of the patients and families we’re privileged to serve,” he added.
Graf joined FHFMH in 2017 as director of Rehabilitation and Wellness, later becoming executive director of operations. In that capacity, he led strategy and tactics for all service line initiatives and managed ambulatory clinics across more than 18 departments.
A graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in exercise science, Graf earned his doctor of physical therapy degree in 2011. Before joining Froedtert ThedaCare Health, he served as a director at various clinics throughout the Midwest. He is also active in the community, volunteering with organizations such as the Boys & Girls Club of Manitowoc County and Bethany Lutheran Church.
Dale Gisi, senior vice president of ThedaCare North Region, said in the release: “We’re fortunate to have Brian’s leadership, as a positive, strategic thinker who will help our system drive health care change at a pivotal time of growth and transformation. He is an innovative problem solver and leader who is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of the people in the Manitowoc area.”
