Apria Healthcare COO Assumes Presidency

Apria Healthcare Group Inc. said its chief operating officer, Steven Plochocki, has assumed the additional title of president, succeeding Timothy M. Aitken, who resigned in November.

Plochocki was designated chief operating officer of the home health care company in June when it was formed from the merger of Homedco Group, in Fountain Valley, and Costa Mesa-based Abbey Healthcare Group. He previously was executive vice president and chief operating officer of Abbey. Aitken had been Abbey’s chairman.
