Hudson Regional Health Shuffles Leadership at Two Hospitals

Hudson Regional Health reshuffled the top leadership at two of its Hudson County hospitals this month, moving an executive who revived one facility into a new role and elevating a longtime local healthcare figure to fill his spot. The Secaucus-based health system announced March 9 that Dr. Michael Hochberg will serve as chief hospital executive at Hoboken University Hospital, shifting from the same role he held at Bayonne University Hospital. Stepping into Bayonne is Dr. Vijayant Singh, who had been Hudson Regional's chief clinical officer and vice president of network development.
