Since 2019, Ms. Diamond has served as the president of the 501-bed Bridgeport Hospital, which admits over 30,000 patients and treats more than 600,000 outpatients per year. During that time the hospital has made great strides, such as identifying the best treatments and methods for flexing volume up and down and caring for patients with a novel virus. She has improved relationships with community and health system partners, which will continue to benefit the hospital and community well into the future. She sees robotics, telehealth, and artificial intelligence playing a vital role in the future of Bridgeport Hospital and the healthcare industry. She intends to elevate the hospital’s level of acute care using technology and innovation to drive excellence in clinical outcomes as well as superior patient-centered care. In November 2023, thanks to her leadership, the hospital opened a new stroke center and a new hispanic breast cancer program is breaking new ground in partnership with the New Haven-based Smilow Cancer Hospital leadership.
