Amid financial turmoil for the city’s network of hospitals, Maureen Pode, previously acting CEO of NYC Health + Hospitals in North Central Bronx,
has officially been named CEO of the North Central Bronx Hospital, by president and CEO of NYC Health + Hospitals, Dr. Ram Raju.

Earlier in her career, Pode held an assortment of positions at the Cabrini Medical Center before deciding to work at NYC Health + Hospitals where she has stayed for the past 14 years.

As a senior executive, Pode will begin implementing the three new service lines that have replaced the hospital’s former network structure, focusing on patient care, post-acute care and ambulatory care. Pode has more than 30 years’ experience in acute and ambulatory care and looks forward to contributing to the change that NYC Health + Hospitals ultimately hope will improve health outcomes and eliminate unnecessary hospital admissions.

“I look forward to continuing our work together to build upon the rich history for serving the residents of the North Bronx,” said Pode. “Our strength has been and will continue to be our commitment to the provision of respectful compassionate and high quality care.”
