(Melville, N.Y.) Thomas Reilly, a deacon at St. Hugh of Lincoln Roman Catholic Church, has been joined by a new slate of officers on the board of trustees for Good Samaritan Hospital Medical Center, St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center and St. Charles Hospital, all members of Catholic Health Services (CHS).  Secretary to the board, Reilly is the former group vice president of operations for the King Kullen Grocery Company, and former president of Wild by Nature Whole Food Stores.  

“During his many years of service, Tom Reilly has contributed an impressive enthusiasm for our mission, as well as substantial professional abilities,” said Chairman of the Board Salvatore Sodano.  “As an officer of the board, he plays an essential role in the delivery of excellent health care services to the people of Suffolk County.”
