CORNING, N.Y. — Guthrie Clinic has appointed Jennifer Yartym as the new president of Guthrie Corning Hospital, effective Jan. 1.
Yartym, who is currently serving as president of Guthrie Cortland Medical Center, will also continue in that role, per the health system’s Friday announcement.
Her appointment at Corning Hospital comes as Paul VerValin steps down from his role as Corning Hospital president to focus on Guthrie Clinic responsibilities as executive VP and COO.
“As President of both hospitals, I will focus on creating consistency and standardizing processes to deliver the highest quality care,” Yartym said in the announcement. “I am fortunate to work with strong leaders and caregivers at both hospitals to support this work.”
Before joining Cortland Medical Center in 2019, Yartym was with Corning Hospital for 19 years, including time as VP of operations. She also served as interim hospital president during the COVID-19 pandemic, guiding response and recovery.
