Princeton HealthCare System President and CEO Barry S. Rabner has been selected as the Leader of the Year by the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce. He was recognized for “his vision and hard work toward the creation of a new state-of-the-art hospital and healthcare campus for the region, as well as his leadership in fostering clinical and organizational excellence throughout Princeton HealthCare System.” During the five years in which Rabner has served as PHCS President and CEO, he reached out to members of the community, area leaders, physicians, staff and others as part of a comprehensive strategic planning process that resulted in community support for the organization. The annual award, sponsored by Tyco International, recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to Princeton-area communities. It will be presented at the chamber’s Annual Business Leadership Awards Gala on Wednesday, November 28, at the Tournament Players Club at Jasna Polana in Princeton.
