Under Ms. Silard’s leadership, Stamford Health has experienced meaningful growth, becoming a certified Great Place to Work and advancing both quality and clinical programs, achieving recognition from major organizations. She also led to the on-time and under-budget development of the new Stamford Hospital on the Bennett Medical Center campus in 2016, a $450 million facility that was the first LEED-Certified hospital in Connecticut. Stamford Health has also established collaborative relationships with the New York City-based Hospital for Special Surgery and the Boston-based Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Center, as well as an expanded relationship with Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City, in order to bring the community the nation’s best clinical care. Ms. Silard shepherded Stamford Health through the Covid-19 pandemic, collaborating with community partners to serve at-risk groups, and even forging a unique partnership with the military to set up an alternative care site that was a regional resource during the 2020 spring surge. In recent years, she has overseen the complete renovation and reimagining of Stamford Health’s Whittingham Pavilion, where services for women and children are centralized, as well as the creation of new behavioral health services in the community.
