SYRACUSE — St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Center today appointed Susan Furtney as executive director of community engagement.

Furtney most recently served as the director of the university-wellness initiative at Syracuse University, where she launched the school’s first wellness program dedicated to improving the health and well being for more than 5,000 faculty and staff.

In her new role, Furtney will work to establish and grow community partnerships to “improve the health outcomes of the St. Joseph’s patient population” in the Syracuse area, the hospital said in a news release.
