Duke Rupert Appointed President of AHN Beaver and Sewickley Hospitals
After three decades of leadership at the helm of the former Heritage Valley Health System, CEO Norm Mitry is stepping down. Allegheny Health Network announced today that industry veteran Duke Rupert will succeed him, taking charge of AHN Beaver and AHN Sewickley hospitals effective August 17, 2026.

AHN also bolstered its regional leadership team by appointing Keith Lorenz as chief operating officer and Joshua Miller as chief financial officer. Lorenz joins from UPMC Passavant, while Miller transitions from his previous role as director of finance at AHN Grove City Hospital. These appointments coincide with a planned transition period during which Mitry will remain in an advisory capacity to ensure continuity. Mark Sevco, President of AHN, noted that the new team is tasked with embedding the network's Living Health model into the western region’s facilities.
