Rideout Health's chief nursing officer has been promoted to chief operating officer for the area's largest nonprofit health care provider, CEO Gino Patrizio announced Tuesday.

Melissa Burns, who has been in her current position since September 2014, will be second-in-command in Rideout's administration and report directly to Patrizio. She will fill the position held by Patrizio prior to his taking over as CEO last November.
