“Norman brings exceptional experience in the health care field and has been a champion for the patient throughout his stand-out career within our health system,” said Marna P. Borgstrom, president and CEO of the Yale New Haven Health System, in a statement.
Before his COO stint at Bridgeport Hospital, Roth served as a senior vice president at Yale-New Haven Hospital and the Yale New Haven Health System. In that role he led the planning, design and completion of the 500,000-square-foot Smilow Cancer Hospital, which formally opened in in New Haven in 2010. During the Smilow effort, he maintained oversight of Yale New Haven’s engineering, environmental services, facilities services, laboratory services, pathology, perioperative services, radiology and security.
“I am excited about the opportunity to lead such an exceptional organization,” Roth said in a statement. “Having worked with my colleagues in Greenwich since the hospital joined the health system in 1998, and from my direct experience over the last year, I recognize that this is a very special place. I am honored to carry on the tradition of great care for the patients we serve.”
Roth succeeds Frank Corvino, who retired as president and CEO of Greenwich Hospital on Dec. 31 after 26 years of service.
Prior to joining Yale-New Haven Hospital, Roth, a fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives, held positions at Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Connecticut and the Veterans Affairs Hospital in West Haven.
Greenwich Hospital has 206 beds. It and Bridgeport and Yale-New Haven hospitals, plus specialty networks and the nonprofit Northeast Medical Group, make up the Yale New Haven Health System.
