CLAYTON -- Jeff Dowis, M.D., has been named interim chief executive officer of Mountain Lakes Medical Center in Clayton.

"His primary role will be to oversee the clinical services offered at the current hospital campus, as well as to assist with the opening of the new 65,000-square-foot medical center in September."
Dowis will succeed current CEO Joseph Forese.
