Syracuse, N.Y.-based Upstate University Hospital CEO John McCabe, MD, is leaving his post to "pursue professional and personal interests," according to a report by The Post-Standard. Dr. McCabe, who also served as vice president for clinical affairs, was named to his roles in 2009.
During Dr. McCabe's tenure, the hospital acquired Community General Hospital in Syracuse and opened the Golisano Children's Hospital in Rochester, N.Y. He will step down on Jan. 17, 2017.
Steven M. Scott will replace Dr. McCabe on an interim basis. Mr. Scott is equipped with more than 30 years of healthcare industry experience, most recently serving as vice president and COO of Augusta-based Georgia Regents Medical Center.
Upstate University Hospital will soon begin searching for a permanent CEO, according to the report.
