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.
Furtney has more than 20 years of business development, strategic planning, informatics research, and operations-management experience in for-profit and nonprofit health-care organizations, St. Joseph’s said.
Before moving to Syracuse in 2012, Furtney was the executive director of Care Ring, Inc., a private, nonprofit, public-health agency that serves 7,000 uninsured and underserved people annually in Charlotte, N.C., St. Joseph’s said.
