"I am delighted to have a leader with such breadth join our IT team," said Mr. Chatani in a news release. "Dr. Darrow has impressed me with his professionalism, teamwork and drive for excellence. He has a great reputation with our clinical staff and was recently awarded the Physician of the Year award by our nursing department.
