Dave Jolly, former chief operating officer for Cornerstone Family Healthcare, took the helm as its new president and chief operating officer Jan. 6. Originally in the public service sector, Jolly joined Cornerstone in 2014 as its chief operating officer. He had previously served as commissioner of the Orange County Department of Social Services for eight years and is currently chair of the New York State Association of Counties, Medicaid and Human Services Resolutions Committee.
“Dave has proven himself to be an exemplary leader with the right combination of sound principals, a patient-centered focus and strategic vision to propel Cornerstone Family Healthcare into its next phase of success,” said Linda Muller, who spent 31 years growing the health-care system. During the three decades of her tenure, the federally qualified health center has grown from a single site in the city of Newburgh caring for 5,000 patients to a health-care system today serving more than 55,000 patients at 24 locations across Orange, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster, Dutchess, Westchester and Broome counties.
