ONEIDA, N.Y. — The Oneida Health board of directors anticipates it’ll select the health system’s next president and CEO sometime this fall.
The search follows the departure of Jonathan Schiller from the organization at the end of May.
Schiller had joined Oneida Health following the retirement of president and CEO Gene Morreale in April 2022. Schiller has returned to Garnet Health in Orange County, where he had worked prior to joining Oneida Health as president and CEO in 2022, per a March 15 announcement on the Garnet Health website.
Oneida Health CFO Jeremiah Sweet is now serving as its interim president and CEO and assumed the duties June 1. Sweet will retain his authority as CFO during the transition, per Oneida Health’s announcement.
Oneida Health’s board of directors began a nationwide search for Oneida Health’s next president and CEO in February following Schiller’s announcement.
“During this process, we have been able to attract a number of very qualified candidates already for the president and CEO position,” Michael Kallet, who chairs the Oneida Health board of directors, said. “Between our reputation for quality care, breadth of services, and our independence as a not-for-profit healthcare organization, we are a very desirable destination. We will be able to take our pick from some of the nation’s top talent.”
Sweet joined Oneida Health as CFO in 2017 after working many years at the Bassett Healthcare Network.
“Since his entry into the organization Jeremiah (Sweet) has contributed greatly to the continued success of Oneida Health as a regional healthcare provider,” Kallet said. “His competence, collegiality, and willingness to go above and beyond have earned him the respect of all of us here at Oneida Health during his tenure. We can all take comfort in knowing that the organization will be in very capable hands as this process concludes.”
