The Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS), a nonprofit organization representing health-care networks and hospitals in the state, on Monday announced the installment of Dennis Whalen as president.
Whalen, who had previously served as executive vice president and COO, takes over for Daniel Sisto, who had previously announced he would retire in 2013, the organization said in a news release.
The HANYS board of trustees last summer chose Whalen to assume the president’s role when Sisto retired, HANYS said.
