KINGSTON – The Westchester Medical Center Health Network named the former vice president for medical affairs at Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie as the new executive director and chief medical officer at Health Alliance of the Hudson Valley.
Dr. Michael Doyle will provide leadership and work collaboratively with hospital teams at HealthAlliance Hospital: Broadway Campus and HealthAlliance Hospital: Mary’s Avenue Campus in Kingston, Margaretville Hospital and Mountainside Residential Care Center in Margaretville, and all members of WMCHealth, while overseeing areas such as operations, quality, patient safety, and medical services.
Doyle, a resident of Cornwall-on-Hudson, will work to improve the health of the community and advance an integrated delivery system in which patients have seamless access to care in the Hudson Valley communities where they live.
