奥尔巴尼医疗系统任命丹尼尔·皮克特三世为新任总裁兼首席执行官，立即生效，接替未对其离职原因的丹尼斯·麦肯纳博士。 The Albany Med Health System named Daniel Pickett III its new president and CEO, effective immediately, succeeding Dr. Dennis McKenna, whose departure was not explained. 皮克特(Pickett)是一位长期任职的董事会成员和主席,他将领导该系统向更大程度的融合、护理质量和创新转变。 Pickett, a long-time board member and chair, will lead the system’s transformation toward greater integration, care quality, and innovation. 这一变化恰逢重大基础设施升级,包括奥尔巴尼医疗中心扩大2 500万美元ER,格伦斯瀑布医院增加7 500平方英尺ER,以及哥伦比亚纪念健康格林医疗艺术中心翻修2 500万美元。 The change coincides with major infrastructure upgrades, including a $25 million ER expansion at Albany Medical Center, a 7,500-square-foot ER addition at Glens Falls Hospital, and a $25 million renovation at Columbia Memorial Health’s Greene Medical Arts Center. 后者包括将医院重新分类为关键出入医院的计划,将床位从192张减少到25张,等待批准,并面对地方反对派,尽管领导人说这将提高可持续性和增加资金。 The latter includes plans to reclassify as a critical access hospital, reducing beds from 192 to 25—pending approval and facing local opposition, though leaders say it will improve sustainability and funding.
