Brooklyn’s oldest hospital has new CEO, new plan for managing care and growth
Snuggled between DeKalb Avenue and the southern end of Fort Greene Park is a brick-and-mortar source of potential — a hospital with so much history that it was built when the only way to cross the East River was by ferry.
Hoping to tap that potential is Gary Terrinoni, the newly appointed CEO of The Brooklyn Hospital Center (TBHC). His plan, he says, is to design a “blueprint” for managing the health of the community that changes as the community grows.
Terrinoni is very familiar with the health care game and has won that game with a home run. He came to TBHC from Kennedy Health System in Voorhees, N.J., where it took him only two years as senior vice president and CFO to guide the health system toward peak financial and operational success.
