Betsy Ryan, president and CEO of the New Jersey Hospital Association, will step down from her role in July 2017.
Ms. Ryan has served as president and CEO of NJHA since 2008. Previously, she acted as general counsel and COO of the 98-year-old healthcare trade group, which includes more than 300 member hospitals, health systems and other acute care providers.
"It has been a privilege to work with the healthcare provider community in New Jersey in taking good care of the people of our state. My tenure has coincided with one of the most transformative times in healthcare history," said Ms. Ryan. "It's not easy to step down from a meaningful, fulfilling job, but I do so knowing that I've accomplished what I wanted in my career at NJHA. Change is good, and it's the right time for me and my family."
NJHA's Board of Trustees will launch a search to fill the position, according to the report.
