Mr. Durniok has been serving as interim president of UPMC Hamot since July, in addition to his roles as president of Jamestown, N.Y.-based UPMC Chautauqua and Seneca, Pa.-based UPMC Northwest, according to a Dec. 4 news release shared with Becker’s. He will continue to helm all three hospitals until replacements are named to the Chautauqua and Northwest facilities.
Mr. Durniok joined Pittsburgh-based UPMC in 1995 as a director of human resources UPMC Horizon in Mercer County, Pa., and has held other leadership roles since. At UPMC Northwest — where he was named president in 2017 — he was instrumental in developing the telemedicine service line, which is the largest across UPMC’s network, the release said.
