Susan Fox and Joseph Guarracino were named to two of the publication’s most prestigious lists honoring top healthcare leaders
White Plains, N.Y. (June 12, 2023) – White Plains Hospital’s President and CEO, Susan Fox, and Joseph Guarracino, Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Financial Officer, have been named to the Becker’s Hospital Review Women Hospital Presidents and CEOs to Know and Health System and Hospital CFOs to Know lists, respectively.
Becker’s, a leading medical trade magazine, cited Fox as “one of Westchester County’s most influential executives” whose leadership has led the Hospital to “become the leading provider of both advanced and preventive healthcare in Westchester County and beyond, with more Westchester residents choosing WPH for inpatient care over other hospitals in the county.”
Spotlighting Guarracino’s more than 25 years of experience overseeing financial operations for healthcare operations prior to joining the Hospital in 2016, the publication emphasized how each executive included in its list of CFOs is a key player “in strategic financial planning, growth and partnerships for their organization[s].”
“Susan Fox and Joseph Guarracino are exceptional leaders who have been instrumental to our hospital’s significant growth and success over the past several years,” said William Null, Chairman of the White Plains Hospital Board of Directors. “We are delighted that Becker’s has chosen to recognize their achievements.”
The recognitions are the latest in a long string of awards White Plains Hospital and its executive leadership have recently earned. Last month, Susan Fox was also named to the Crain’s New York Business 2023 list of Notable Health Care Leaders. The Hospital was recently awarded an “A” Safety Grade by the Leapfrog Group for the ninth consecutive time; was named one of the World’s Best Hospitals by Newsweek for the second year in a row – the only Hospital in Westchester County to be included on the prestigious list; and was awarded the Outstanding Patient Experience Award™ from Healthgrades for the eighth time, placing the organization in the top 10 percent of hospitals nationwide for patient experience.
