New York City – Dr. Steven Corwin, the CEO and President of New York-Presbyterian, has announced he will step down from his position in January 2024 after a notable 14-year tenure. Corwin has been an impactful leader within one of the largest and wealthiest health systems in New York City, helping the organization to flourish during his leadership period.
Dr. Brian Donley, who currently serves as the executive vice president and chief operating officer, has been designated to succeed Corwin. The transition marks a significant change in leadership as New York-Presbyterian adapts to evolving healthcare challenges and regulatory landscapes.
Corwin described his lengthy tenure as “the privilege of my lifetime.” He has expressed confidence in Donley’s ability to lead the organization moving forward, underscoring the trust placed in the incoming executive amid times of transformation within the healthcare sector.
Under Corwin’s stewardship, New York-Presbyterian expanded to comprise 10 hospitals and 200 clinics, reflecting a substantial growth trajectory. In the previous fiscal year, the health system achieved impressive operational revenue of $13 billion, highlighting its financial stability and robust operational capacity.
Corwin, a trained cardiologist, has dedicated his entire professional career to New York-Presbyterian. He began his journey by completing his residency at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center before it officially merged with New York Hospital in 1997. His leadership roles escalated over the years, commencing with a position as senior vice president and chief medical officer in 1998, progressing to executive vice president and chief operating officer in 2005, before ultimately assuming the role of president and CEO in 2011.
Corwin successfully guided New York-Presbyterian through the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which significantly impacted healthcare delivery systems worldwide. His leadership during this period was crucial to maintaining patient care and overall systemic functionality in an unprecedented environment.
Furthermore, Corwin’s efforts have strengthened the collaborations between New York-Presbyterian and its two affiliated medical schools, enhancing the educational and research capabilities within the institution. This relationship is vital in fostering new generations of healthcare professionals in an evolving medical landscape.
This leadership change occurs at a critical time when local hospitals, including New York-Presbyterian, are adjusting to regulatory changes and anticipated Medicaid cuts stemming from the Trump administration. As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, the overarching strategy and vision of the new leadership will be crucial in navigating these complexities.
The announcement regarding Corwin’s resignation was made public on Thursday. The impending transition underscores a pivotal moment in the organization’s history, posing both challenges and opportunities as it enters a new chapter under Dr. Donley’s leadership.
In conclusion, as Dr. Steven Corwin departs after more than a decade of impactful guidance, New York-Presbyterian stands at a key inflection point, poised to adapt and thrive under new leadership in the years to come.
