Fourth Chief Executive in 126-Year History Leads Expansion and Innovation
Across the Nonprofit’s Diversified Operations

GIBSONIA, PA — St. Barnabas Health System is pleased to announce the
appointment of Douglas W. Day as its new President and Chief Executive
Officer. Effective January 1, 2026, Mr. Day becomes just the fourth individual to
lead St. Barnabas Health System since its founding in 1900, marking the next
chapter in one of western Pennsylvania’s most respected retirement living,
healthcare and hospitality organizations.
A dedicated member of the St. Barnabas leadership for more than 40 years, Mr.
Day most recently served as Senior Vice President, a role he has held since
2003.
Throughout his tenure, Mr. Day has been a driving force in advancing the
organization’s growth and diversification. He remains instrumental in the expansion
of St. Barnabas’ retirement communities and launched its hospitality division,
which now includes two premier golf resorts. He also provides strategic oversight
for land development initiatives and corporate information technology. Earlier
at St. Barnabas, Mr. Day’s responsibilities grew to include the multi-specialty
outpatient medical center and Human Resources following his start in
retirement admissions.
As President and CEO, Mr. Day, together with Senior Vice President J.D. Turco
and a highly experienced and long-tenured staff – an uncommon strength in
today’s business environment – will oversee a broad portfolio encompassing
retirement, clinical services, new construction, hospitality, golf resorts, charity care, retail enterprises, and broadcasting. Each of these areas represents a vital element of the system’s integrated mission.
Mr. Day succeeds former president William V. Day, who has served St. Barnabas
with distinction for 58 years. Mr. William Day will continue his involvement with the
organization and was recently named Chairman Emeritus by the Board of
Trustees in recognition of his extraordinary leadership and lasting legacy.
“The transition from Day to Day is a seamless one,” says Daniel S. Henderson,
Chairman of the St. Barnabas Health System Board of Trustees. “Together, the
Days represent nearly a century of combined leadership that has built St.
Barnabas into a financially sound, forward-thinking provider of retirement living,
healthcare, and charitable services.”
St. Barnabas Health System is one of Pennsylvania’s largest and most diversified
nonprofit enterprises. The public-benefit nonprofit parent corporation was founded
in 1900 by humanitarian Gouverneur P. Hance. Subsequently, it was led by Paul
O.W. Hopkinson and William V. Day. St. Barnabas has grown into a diversified
community network with locations in Allegheny, Beaver, and Butler counties.
Today, its operations include:
 St. Barnabas Communities
 St. Barnabas Clinical Services
 St. Barnabas Charities
 St. Barnabas Hospitality Group
 St. Barnabas Broadcasting
 And several strategic subsidiaries that support its mission of care and
service
Under Douglas W. Day’s leadership, St. Barnabas will continue to honor its
founding mission while embracing innovation and growth across all areas of
operation.
