SARATOGA — Jill Johnson VanKuren of MedStar Health System in Maryland, has been named the new President and CEO of Saratoga Hospital, a member of the Albany Med Health System. She will assume the office on September 19.

Saratoga Hospital Board of Trustees Chairperson, Michael J. Toohey, announced VanKuren’s appointment on July 19, citing her 17 years of experience with the largest integrated healthcare system in the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area. Most recently, VanKuren served as Senior Vice President of Operations and Chief Operating Officer at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center, one of ten MedStar hospitals.

“From her first interview, Jill impressed us with her understanding of the vital role of a community hospital in a larger health system,” Toohey said. “She shares our commitment to maintaining Saratoga Hospital’s reputation for exceptional quality and personal attention while bringing the benefits of the Albany Med Health System to our patients and community.”

VanKuren succeeds Angelo Calbone, who will retire in August after 16 years of significant investment in programs, facilities and talent. He is credited with leading the transformation of the hospital and healthcare in the Saratoga region.

“I have a deep respect for the community and the culture that the people of Saratoga Hospital have built over the years,” VanKuren said. “I look forward to building on that strong foundation as we evolve to support the future needs of the community. I am honored to have been selected to lead this team.”
