Dr. John F. Rodis President of St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center

January 2016 heralded a new year in leadership for St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center as Dr. John F. Rodis was appointed as the first doctor as President in its 118 year history.

He commends the great strides that St. Francis has made in establishing a focus on patient care, health specialty departments, the new Comprehensive Women's Health Center and freely discusses the recently established integration with Trinity Health of New England as well as the consequential financial challenges facing CT's medical community given Governor Malloy's budget cuts to reimbursement support and grants.
