SYRACUSE — Upstate Medical University has decided to remove the term “interim” from the titles of two top officials at Upstate University Hospital.
It has appointed Dr. Robert Corona as CEO and Dr. Amy Tucker as chief medical officer (CMO) of Upstate University Hospital, “effective immediately.”
Corona had served as interim CEO since March, and Tucker had been interim CMO since April.
Upstate Medical had appointed Corona as interim CEO following the resignation of Steven Scott, who had served in the role since January 2017.
Tucker had assumed the CMO duties of Dr. Anthony Weiss, who accepted a post at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston.
“Dr. Corona and Dr. Tucker have served with distinction throughout their careers and most recently in their interim positions,” Dr. Mantosh Dewan, interim president of Upstate Medical University, said in a news release. “I am pleased to have them as part of the leadership team as we move forward.”
“I am grateful for this opportunity and fully support interim president Dewan’s appointment of Dr. Tucker as CMO,” Corona said. “I look forward to continuing to work with her, other hospital officers, and the Upstate and SUNY communities to lead Upstate University Hospital in its support of our university’s clinical, educational and research missions.”
