The health system — which includes the 100-bed Exeter Hospital, Core Physicians and Rockingham Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice — was incorporated into Cambridge, Mass.-based Beth Israel Lahey Health on July 1.
Deb Cresta, the health system’s executive vice president and chief operating officer, took the reins July 17.
“I am extremely confident in Deb’s ability and commitment to serve as my successor, and to represent Exeter and the New Hampshire communities we serve in the larger BILH system,” Mr. Callahan told the newspaper in a prepared statement.
