Barry S. Rabner, president and CEO of Penn Medicine Princeton Health, has joined Rider University’s Board of Trustees. Rabner will serve on the Academic Affairs and Enrollment Management and Facilities Committees of the Board.

“We are thrilled to have Barry join Rider’s Board of Trustees,” said University President Gregory G. Dell’Omo, PhD. “Barry’s comprehensive experience in leading and expanding health care institutions will be a huge asset to the Board, especially in light of the growth in health care-related programs at Rider.”

Rabner has served as Princeton Health’s president and CEO for more than 15 years. The nonprofit health care system includes five entities and nearly 50 locations that provide acute inpatient care, behavioral health, rehabilitation and home care services. The system operates with nearly 3,000 employees and more than 1,300 physicians. Under Rabner’s leadership, Princeton Health is also developing the $1.2 billion, 171-acre healthcare campus in Plainsboro, where the hospital is located.

On January 1, the system became part of Penn Medicine.

Last spring, Rabner served as an adjunct instructor at Rider, teaching a special topics course in the health care management program. His course challenged students to understand the factors that drive the rapid change in health care delivery, and predict what hospital systems will look like in the future.
