Joe Guarracino

Executive Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer and CFO

White Plains Hospital

White Plains, NY

Mr. Guarracino carries full accountability for financial operations at White Plains Hospital, a 292-bed medical center and tertiary hub of advanced care in the Hudson Valley. He is tasked with overseeing revenue cycle management, patient accounts, accounts payable, long-term financial planning, capital strategy and audit processes. As chief administrative officer, his scope extends beyond finance to organizational performance, banking and lender relationships, and complex insurance and government funding negotiations. Since joining in 2016, Mr. Guarracino has helped transform a strong community institution into a tertiary hub of advanced care, with the hospital’s net patient service revenue quadrupling since 2015 and rising 13.4% in 2025 over the prior fiscal year alone. He served as the financial architect behind the hospital’s largest-ever campus transformation, a 10-story expansion estimated at $750 million that will nearly double the hospital’s size when it opens in 2028. He was instrumental in securing the $500 million Dormitory Authority of the State of New York bond that finances the project. Mr. Guarracino brings more than 30 years of healthcare finance experience, including a prior role as senior vice president and CFO at The Brooklyn (N.Y.) Hospital Center, where he led the institution out of bankruptcy, and earlier roles as CFO across three hospitals within the Health Quest System before its merger. He serves as an executive board member of Healthfirst Insurance Company and as adjunct faculty at Iona University and Long Island University.
