  CONCORD ó Mark Nantz has resigned as president of Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast to assume the leadership position at Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital in Greenville, S.C., a hospital press release said.
  With this change, which is effective in January, an interim president will be named before year end, with Nantz having agreed to remain available for the next few weeks to assist in the transition of responsibilities to the interim executive.
  The process for selecting a permanent replacement will begin after the holidays, with various members of the medical staff and Advisory Board participating in the selection of the ultimate successor.
