Ms. Shugrue's career in healthcare spans 40 years. She joined Glens Falls in 2007 as executive vice president and COO.

But in the end, we can all be proud of how this indispensable community hospital has always been there for the people we serve," Ms. Shugrue said. "Whether through a once a century pandemic, achieving Magnet Recognition, or making sure that state-of-the-art, compassionate, high quality healthcare is a permanent fixture in the North County, Glens Falls Hospital really has been here through it all. I am so proud of the team here — it has been the honor of my career to serve as CEO of this hospital."
