VERBATIM
Denise Peterson | President and CEO, Hebrew Senior Care
By John Stearns
jstearns@HartfordBusiness.com
Denise Peterson, the new president and CEO
of Hebrew Senior Care in West Hartford, brings
a focus to the role sharpened by more than 35
years of what she says is
demonstrated success
working in complex hos-
pital systems and multiple
specialty services within the
healthcare industry.
Peterson most recently
was a senior vice president
and chief nursing officer
at Trinity Health of New
England, but also has held
management roles at St. Francis Hospital and
Medical Center, Hospital of Central Connecticut,
and Danbury and Waterbury hospitals.
Peterson said she considers herself a transfor-
mational leader who believes in lean principles,
process improvement and creating organization-
al cultures of accountability and engagement.
In her new role she will lead six service lines,
including the Hospital at Hebrew Senior Care, which
is a member of the Connecticut Senior Hospital Alli-
ance with Wallingford's Masonicare Health Care.
What attracted you to Hebrew Senior Care, which
emerged from bankruptcy last summer?
My commitment to this organization was sealed
when I learned about Connecticut Senior Hospital
Alliance. The vision that Hebrew Senior Care and
Masonicare will create the first specialty care hospi-
tal for seniors in Connecticut is extremely exciting.
Connecticut Senior Hospital Alliance meets the
new demands of today's healthcare environment,
which requires care to be delivered in an efficient,
cost-effective manner with high-quality outcomes.
I am very excited about our future and the impact
Hebrew Senior Care will have in developing pro-
grams for the next generation of seniors.
What's the biggest challenge in your new role?
Health care is an ever-changing industry; yet, at
the same time, change can occur slowly. We plan
to design a campaign to educate all constituent
groups about our organization's value to the senior
healthcare landscape. We look to create a com-
munity advisory board so others can engage and
participate in the future vision of Hebrew Senior
Care and the Connecticut Senior Hospital Alliance.
What's Hebrew's biggest opportunity?
The Connecticut Senior Hospital Alliance. We
have the opportunity to be the first specialty-care
hospitals dedicated to senior care in all of Connecti-
cut and New England. Since we offer a direct admis-
sion, patients do not wait for hours in an emergen-
cy. Instead, inpatient care begins immediately. Our
patient satisfaction surveys demonstrate that this
model increases patient satisfaction. I anticipate
this model of care will be replicated nationally.
