The Federal Reserve Bank of New York recently announced the appointment of Bridget-Ann Hart, CEO and president of KPH Healthcare Services, Inc., to its Upstate New York Regional Advisory Board (UNYRAB).
The UNYRAB board includes leaders of large companies headquartered in upstate New York. It meets three times per year with New York Fed President William C. Dudley and staff to discuss the economy and issues affecting upstate New York’s business environment. “These meetings contribute to the New York Fed’s understanding of the regional economy and help inform policymaking,” it said in a news release.
Hart’s appointment will provide UNYRAB with a perspective on upstate New York’s health-care sector as well as “direct insight” from New York state’s North Country region, the release stated.
Hart is a 38-year veteran of KPH Healthcare Services, formerly Kinney Drugs, Inc. She served in a number of roles — from staff pharmacist and pharmacy district manager, to senior VP of Kinney Drugs, Inc., and later president and CEO.
KPH Healthcare Services says it is a $1 billion national provider of pharmaceutical and health-care services. The company is comprised of four divisions: Kinney Drugs, a chain of 100 full-service drug stores located throughout New York and Vermont; Health Direct Institutional Pharmacy Services, which services long-term care and alternative-care needs; ProAct, Inc., a pharmacy benefit management company with sales offices across the country and a mail-order pharmacy; and Noble Health Services, a specialty pharmacy that dispenses medications used to treat complex and chronic diseases.
