Jeff Coakley
OSWEGO, N.Y. — Oswego Health has announced the appointment of Jeff Coakley as chief operating officer (COO) of Oswego Hospital.
“It is my pleasure to announce Jeff’s appointment as he continues to advance in his career at Oswego Health,” Michael Harlovic, president and CEO of Oswego Health, said in a news release. “Jeff is a proven leader who possesses a strong vision for Oswego Hospital and the health system as it continues its growth as Oswego County’s health-care leader.”
Coakley, a Fulton native, has worked for the organization since 1997 and has “played an integral role in the organization’s growth into a health system,” Oswego Health said.
He assisted with the planning, development, and construction activities for many facilities within the system, including Springside at Seneca Hill, Oswego Heath’s retirement community. His work also focused on the “major transformations” of Oswego Health’s Central Square and Fulton medical centers.
Coakley is currently directing Oswego Health’s renewal of its behavioral-health services program as the health system constructs a new facility in Oswego.
In this new position, Coakley will continue focusing on his responsibilities in business development, overseeing the growth of the health system, which also includes planning, physician recruitment, and community relations.
“I look forward to collaborating with physicians and colleagues as we continue improving access to high quality and efficient health services,” Coakley said. “I also want to develop relationships with local businesses and community members as we present the health system’s recent accomplishments in terms of physician recruitment, the introduction of new services and the improvements to our facilities. These successes are paramount as the health system remains one of the few strong, independent community hospitals in New York State. Our team is committed to continuing our success, which will protect the many healthcare services and jobs we provide within the community.”
