                      HON. DANIEL M. DONOVAN, JR.

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 7, 2017

  Mr. DONOVAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to thank Anthony Ferreri for 
his enduring devotion to serving others in need.
  A lifelong Staten Islander, Anthony has been at the forefront of 
providing quality hospital care. President and CEO of Staten Island 
University Hospital since 2003, he has overseen the hospital's growth 
with the addition of the Elizabeth A. Connelly Emergency and Trauma 
Center in 2009 and the Regina M. McGinn, MD Education Center in 2011. 
This dedication led Modem HealthCare Magazine to award Anthony its 
Community Leadership Award.
  In 2013, after being named as Executive Director of the North Shore--
LIJ Health System's Western Region, Anthony Ferreri was then appointed 
the Executive Vice President just two years later. With his new 
position came additional duties, as he also became the System's Chief 
Affiliation Officer and Regional Executive Director for Westchester 
County. His established track record of effective partnerships with 
area hospitals and medical centers made him an ideal choice for this 
position, at which he excelled.
  Anthony has also proven himself a steadfast servant to his community. 
He has served numerous nonprofit boards, among them the Friends of May 
Chang Foundation, New York Organ Donor Network, and the Snug Harbor 
Cultural Center. Furthermore, he is the Chairman of the Board of Staten 
Island's Moore Catholic High School. He has been recognized on multiple 
occasions for his community service. One such example is that he was 
only the 12th graduate of New Dorp High School to be inducted into its 
Hall of Fame. Moreover, he was also awarded the Ellis Island Medal of 
Honor by the National Ethnic Coalition of Organizations.
  Mr. Speaker, Anthony Ferreri has spent his life serving his community 
and providing quality care to hospital patients. I thank him for his 
lifetime of work and I wish him the best in retirement.
