Dr. David Torchiana, the president & CEO of Partners HealthCare System and a member of the MHA Board of Trustees, last week announced his retirement, effective at the end of April. Torchiana has been the head of Partners since March 2015. Previously, he led the Massachusetts General Physicians Organization, and before that he had a notable career as a cardiothoracic surgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital. Among the notable achievements during his tenure at Partners was the systems acquisition of Mass. Eye and Ear. As an MHA Board member since 2016, “Torch’s” insights into the pressing healthcare issues of the day received consideration not just due to the size of Partners within the Massachusetts healthcare environment, but also to his deep knowledge of medicine, hospital operations, and the cordial way in which he presented his views. MHA wishes him well on his next endeavor.
