BISHOP SULLIVAN NAMED TO HEALTH CARE PANEL
Retired Auxiliary Bishop Joseph M. Sullivan has been named by Governor George E. Pataki to serve as one of 18 permanent members of the newly created State Commission on Health Care Facilities in the 21st Century.
The panel will examine the needs and capacities of the health care system and make recommendations to right-size hospitals and nursing homes. It will also consider the impact that closing a facility would have on the delivery of health care services in a geographic area and the local and regional economies, as well as the savings generated and capital costs avoided if a particular facility was closed.
Bishop Sullivan will bring to the panel more than 40-years’experience in health and hospitals ministry. He is the former Vicar for Human Services in the Diocese and has held leadership positions in the former Catholic Medical Center of Brooklyn and Queens and the St. Vincent’s Catholic Medical Centers. He chairs the board of the Sisters of Mercy Healthcare System of St. Louis. |
