ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY: CHS shuffles top hospital execs

In a series of major changes at some of the region's largest hospitals, Catholic Health Services of Long Island has named key executives to new posts at St. Joseph Hospital, Mercy Medical Center and Good Samaritan Hospital. The Rockville Centre-based system named Drew Pallas, a certified public accountant and COO of St. Joseph Hospital in Bethpage, as St. Joseph's new executive vice president/CAO. Aaron E. Glatt, MD, president/CEO of St. Joseph Hospital and its predecessor since 2007, was named executive vice president and CAO at Mercy Medical Center, in Rockville Centre. St. Joseph, which had been known as New Island Hospital as a stand-alone hospital, in January of 2010 merged into CHS and changed its name.
