New director for Silver Hill Hospital’s neuropsychiatric program

New Canaan’s Silver Hill Hospital has named Dr. Donna Anthony as the director and team lead of its neuropsychiatric program.

In her new job, Anthony will oversee Silver Hill’s residential (transitional living) services for individuals with psychotic disorders and will provide guidance and consultation for both inpatients and outpatients with these conditions.

Since 2016, Anthony served as chief medical officer of Gracie Square Hospital, a psychiatric hospital in the New York-Presbyterian Hospital (NYPH) network. Prior to that, she spent 11 years directing treatment services for psychotic disorders at NYPH’s Westchester Division. She has also held academic positions at Weill Cornell Medical College and Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center for more than 30 years.

“Dr. Anthony has a reputation for unwavering devotion to patients struggling with severe and persistent mental illness and to the teaching and mentorship of psychiatrists and other mental health professionals,” said Dr. Andrew J. Gerber, president and medical director of Silver Hill Hospital. “Her leadership and experience will enable Silver Hill to further innovate and bring forth new initiatives and approaches that enhance both our care and our commitment to individuals with psychosis and their families.”
