Crozer-Chester med center picks Gavin
Philadelphia Business Journal - by John George Staff Writer

Patrick J. Gavin was named president of Crozer-Chester Medical Center in Upland, Pa.

He succeeds Joseph Saunders, who retired in May.

Gavin — a native of Upper Darby, Pa., in Delaware County — most recently served as executive vice president and chief operating officer of Reading Hospital and Medical Center in Reading, Pa. He previously held leadership roles with Chilton Memorial Hospital, Pompton Plains, N.J.; Albert Einstein Healthcare Network, Philadelphia; and Lehigh Valley Health Network, Allentown, Pa.

He holds a bachelor’s degree from Villanova University, an MBA in information systems from St. Joseph’s University and a master’s degree in public health from Columbia University.

“Patrick Gavin is a seasoned leader who possesses a wealth of health care experience and business acumen,” said Richard Bennett, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Crozer-Keystone Health System. “I am pleased to welcome him to the Crozer-Keystone Health System management team. I am confident that he will excel in this challenging role.”

Crozer-Chester Medical Center is a 343-bed tertiary care hospital that admits nearly 23,000 patients, treats 53,000 emergency department patients, and delivers more than 2,000 babies a year.
