His last day will be next month.

“I’m also proud of the business of health care beat I created,” he wrote on LinkedIn. “Working with the business desk at Newsday is second to none in my career.  Next for me: I’ll be a senior advisor at Northwell Health, driving content and messaging around many of the causes and issues important to the health system and its executives.”
