Greenwich Hospital welcomes new trustees to board
GREENWICH — The Board of Trustees at Greenwich Hospital elected five new members at its annual meeting to what W. Robert Berkley Jr, the board’s chairman, called a “unique and extraordinary model for a community hospital” because of its strong relationship with Yale New Haven Health and the Yale School of Medicine.
“We have the ability to offer both the personalized care of a small hospital and the intellectual capital and technical capacity of an academic health system. This defines and distinguishes us from many other institutions and changes the health-care landscape for the communities we serve,” Berkley told the assembled crowd in the Noble Conference Center at Greenwich Hospital.
Dr. Felice Zwas, Greenwich Hospital’s chief of staff, told board members she was especially “proud of all the hard work the medical staff has put into varied innovative initiatives promoting physician wellness and patient quality all the while excelling as topof-class medical professionals.”
Joining the Board of Trustees are Dr. Nancy Brown, dean of Yale School of Medicine; Robert F. Carangelo, partner at Weil, Gotshal and Manges; Leslie Dahl, former managing director at Lone Pine Capital; Carlos M. Hernandez, executive chair of Investment and Corporate Banking at JP Morgan Chase; and Pam Sutton-Wallace, chief operating officer at Yale New Haven Health.
Berkley thanked the outgoing trustees for their commitment: Chris O’Connor, Yale New Haven Health chief executive officer; Marc Gabelli; Frank Gilbride; Robin Kanarek; and Jack Mitchell.
Greenwich Hospital is a member of Yale New Haven Health and a major academic affiliate of the Yale School of Medicine.
