BROOKLYN, NY – The Brooklyn Hospital Center’s Board of Trustees announced today the appointment of Gary G. Terrinoni as the hospital’s new President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Terrinoni is presently Executive Vice President of Administration (COO) and Chief Financial Officer of Kennedy Health System.
