NSHC is the regional association that represents the 24 hospitals on Long Island. Darwell is responsible for advocating the hospitals’ interests before lawmakers, providing value-added member services to the hospitals, and managing the daily operations of the Hospital Council. She also oversees a New York State Department of Health-sponsored program to assist uninsured consumers in enrolling in health insurance through the New York State of Health marketplace. Her knowledge about health reform, policy, and insurance are an asset to the Long Island region and its population, as health care undergoes a massive transformation in the way care is delivered and reimbursed.
“There is no question that Wendy Darwell is one of the region’s leading experts on all matters related to health and hospital policy,” said Kevin Dahill, president/CEO of the Hospital Council. “She is an asset to our organization and the broader community of Long Island.”
Darwell is a graduate of American University in Washington, DC and will receive her master’s degree in business administration this spring from Hofstra University.
