Cerra assumes the post of chief nursing officer from Sue Brown, RN, MSN.

Misuraca will continue to serve as director of Greenwich Fertility as she assumes her new responsibilities for obstetrics, perinatal and pediatric services as program director for Women’s and Children’s Services. She has held a variety of posts during her 25 years at Greenwich Hospital, including serving as manager of labor and delivery, maternity, nursery and the neonatal intensive care unit. Misuraca received her nursing degree from Worcester State University and her master’s degree in nursing from Pace University.

Lennon has made significant contributions to the growth of surgical services since joining Greenwich Hospital in 2011. In her new position as program director for Surgical Services, Lennon will be responsible for the Ambulatory Surgery Center, operating room, inpatient surgical units, post-acute care unit, the Sackler Center for Pain Management and the Sterile Processing Department. She will maintain her role as manager of the hospital’s three surgical units.
