BUFFALO, N.Y. — Kaleida Health has a new CEO.
Robert Nesselbush was named CEO Kaleida Health. He joined Kaledia in 2019 and previously served as the group's Chief Financial Officer.
“As I said back in January when Jody made his announcement, this is all about building on the success that we have had as an organization over the past six years,” said Frank Curci, chair of the Kaleida Health Board of Directors in a released statement.
“Today’s announcement is true succession planning. The board felt very strongly about keeping the team together; they have performed so well under Jody’s leadership. In particular, Bob and the executive management team really shined during the COVID-19 crisis. With Bob elevating to the CEO position, you get a results-oriented leader who has a proven track record in operations, improving quality, growing market share and managing financial operations.”
Nesselbush said, “It is a truly incredible honor to be asked to lead and serve this great health system of ours. In my time in Rochester, I was fortunate enough to watch the growth and expansion that was underway at Kaleida Health. So when I had the chance to join the organization in 2019, I jumped at the opportunity. As a proud Western New Yorker, I am very excited about building upon the many successes that Kaleida Health has achieved over the last seven years.”
Nesselbush replaces Jody Lomeo, who announced in January he was leaving.
