The Butler Health System has hired a new chief operating officer to replace Stephanie Roskovski, who is under federal investigation for misappropriating administrative funds while working as the health system's COO.

Jason Sciarro began his job as COO on Monday.

Sciarro most recently worked as president and COO of Centegra Health System in the northern Chicago and southern Wisconsin market.

His previous work experience also includes administrative roles, including a COO position at University Hospital/SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, N.Y.

Sciarro holds a bachelor's degree in business from Geneva College in Beaver Falls and a master's degree from LeMoyne College in Syracuse.

At Butler Health System, Sciarro will be responsible for a number of clinical and support areas and will focus on business development and the ongoing growth and performance of the health system's physician network.

Sciarro and his wife, Amy, are Western Pennsylvania natives.
