AYER, Mass. - Following a brief tenure in an interim capacity, Steven Roach has been named Chief Executive Officer of Nashoba Valley Medical Center, officials announced today.
"I'm honored to lead Nashoba Valley Medical Center in its mission to provide increasingly advanced opportunities for both patients to receive care and for clinical professionals to practice medicine," Roach says.
"We've served the community for more than 40 years and look forward to guiding this hospital into its next 40 years as a premier provider to the people of Ayer, Groton and the entire Nashoba Valley."
In addition to serving as CEO, Roach's previous roles at Nashoba Valley Medical Center include Chief Operating Officer since November 2005 and Chief Financial Officer since 2003.
