Mr. Goldberg served as executive vice president of Vandalia Health and president and CEO of Vandalia Health’s North Region, earning a reputation as a visionary, empathetic and authentic leader who moved his community forward. A pioneering innovator in care delivery, he is the originator of the small-format hospital concept, with facilities featuring an emergency department, approximately 10 inpatient beds, and a variety of outpatient services with the ability to access higher levels of care within the system as needed. This model helped expand access to care in communities that traditional hospital infrastructure could not efficiently serve. He played a pivotal leadership role in bringing Vandalia Health and Morgantown, W.Va.-based WVU Medicine together to form the Monongalia County Emergency Management Agency. He also guided his hospitals through the Covid-19 pandemic as one of his first major challenges after arriving in the role. Mr. Goldberg’s commitment to community health extends well beyond hospital walls, having served on the board of Hazel’s House of Hope. He has also been deeply involved with numerous nonprofits, including Pantry Plus More. Mr. Goldberg recently exited his role at Vandalia Health as part of a restructuring.
