Judith Persichilli will retire from CHE Trinity Health May 1, exactly one year after the system was formed from the merger of Catholic Health East and Trinity Health.
When the merger became effective last May, Persichilli was named interim CEO of the new Roman Catholic health system. Then in November, when Dr. Richard Gilfillan took over the permanent president and CEO role, Persichilli became president emeritus and agreed to serve in a special advisory position during the transitional period.
“Judy's leadership, insight and commitment to our mission and our colleagues were instrumental in bringing the two systems together, and her counsel during my transition into the ministry was a tremendous asset,” Gilfillan said in a news release.
