Dr. Sable most recently served as executive vice president and COO of Saint Peter's Healthcare System in New Brunswick, N.J. Before then, he served as vice chairman for operations in the emergency department at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

"And, after conducting a national search, we are lucky to have found a leader who lives right in Monroe Township and is familiar with Jersey Shore to serve as the hospital's next president."
