He noted, "Under John’s leadership, the Hospital completed a $100 million renovation and expansion and added a new state-of-the-art comprehensive cancer center. John will leave us with a commitment to excellence as well as a strong foundation upon which to move forward."

In her new role, Ms. Petrower will be responsible for the overall leadership and operations at the Cortlandt Manor site, as well as satellite medical center locations in Croton and Cold Spring and the physical therapy location in Croton.
