“Dan has the in-depth healthcare expertise needed to continue demonstrating the exceptional value we provide our healthcare customers throughout the Midwest,” said Dan Walsh, Huntington’s Cleveland region president. “Under Dan’s guidance, our Huntington for Healthcare expansion will allow us to bring our broad-based financing services to a greater number of healthcare organizations in the communities we serve.”
Storer, who will be based in Cleveland, has 25 years of experience in corporate banking, healthcare, commercial insurance, and business operations. He most recently worked as the chief operating officer for Cleveland-based Northeast Surgical Wound Care, Inc., where he was responsible for business and clinical operations and revenue growth in wound care and pharmaceuticals. His other experience includes roles as health care practice leader for Neace Lukens, chief financial officer for Senior Lifestyle Corporation, and senior vice president and managing director for Key Corporate Capital. A graduate of Westminster College in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, Storer has been an active healthcare industry advocate since 1991, serving on various boards and associations, as well as speaking at industry conferences across the U.S.
“I am extremely excited about building on our strategic Huntington for Healthcare initiative,” said Storer. “Not only are we thoughtfully investing in the healthcare delivery system in our franchise communities, but, more importantly, we are assisting our clients to position their organizations for the new challenges they face in patient care, regulation and technology.”
Huntington will focus its healthcare efforts throughout the bank’s six-state footprint in Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
“In addition to Dan’s expertise, our healthcare bankers also have specialized knowledge in their respective finance areas, and we are adding additional expertise as we continue to expand our healthcare presence,” Walsh explained. “Huntington’s understanding of this market, coupled with our proven track record in wealth management, commercial and business banking, will provide our customers with the funding and financing services they require to succeed and grow.”
