OLD BRIDGE — Dr. Andrew Citron, director of the Division of Anesthesiology at Raritan Bay Medical Center, is the first physician to be named chair of the Hackensack Meridian Health Raritan Bay Medical Center Foundation Board of Trustees.

“I’ve been fortunate to see Raritan Bay Medical Center grow over the recent years,” Citron said. “The medical center has tremendous promise and with philanthropic support, our future is limitless. I am proud to serve as the Foundation’s board chair and believe we have an outstanding group of trustees who are committed to making an impact.”

The Raritan Bay Medical Center Foundation trustees include James J. Elek, vice chair; Dom Cama; Dr. Surender Grover; David Lee Hernandez, Jr.; John K. Lloyd, Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives, co-CEO of Hackensack Meridian Health; Barry Rosengarten and Jessica Smith.

Linda M. Hill serves as executive director and Michael D’Agnes, president of Raritan Bay Medical Center, serves as secretary and treasurer.

Citron is a diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology and manages the operating rooms at Raritan Bay Medical Center’s Perth Amboy and Old Bridge hospitals with a special interest in regional anesthesia. In addition, he is a member of the Medical Executive Committee, the Credentials Committee and the Clinical Practices Committee. He also formerly served as chair of the Institutional Review Board at Raritan Bay Medical Center, and is active in many other areas of the hospital.

He resides in Manalapan with his wife, Stacey.

Prior to Citron, Timothy O’Brien, vice president of investments and certified financial planner with Wells Fargo, served as chair.

“When Raritan Bay Medical Center merged with Hackensack Meridian Health, Tim O’Brien really stepped up and energized the board to get more actively involved,” said Joseph Stampe, president of Meridian Health Foundation. “We are so grateful for the support from these remarkable community leaders and are confident that the board will continue to inspire meaningful giving, advancing the care provided at Raritan Bay.”
