Yes, this is a ranking of Greater Hartford healthcare power players, but Yale New Haven Health’s growing reach in the region can’t be ignored.
Leading that charge and the state’s largest health system is President and CEO Marna Borgstrom.
Borgstrom worked her way up the corporate ladder at Yale, starting at Yale New Haven Hospital more than 30 years ago.
According to her biography, her varied roles have taken her from a post-graduate fellowship, to various staff and management roles, to her 1994 promotion to the position of executive vice president and chief operating officer.
In 2005, she was appointed president and CEO of both Yale New Haven Hospital and Yale New Haven Health System.
The Yale New Haven Health System, which reported $4.9 billion in operating revenue in fiscal 2019, has grown its reach in recent years with several acquisitions, including Milford Hospital. It also owns Bridgeport, Greenwich and Lawrence + Memorial hospitals.
In 2015, it expanded into Greater Hartford via a cancer partnership with St. Francis Hospital, which included the opening of the Smilow Cancer Hospital at St. Francis in Hartford.
