Friendly Senior Living has tapped Albany Memorial Hospital executive director Glen Cooper to lead its organization, officials said Tuesday.
In addition to the 200-bed Friendly Home long-term care facility, Friendly Senior Living includes the Cloverwood retirement community, Linden Knoll independent living apartments and Lovejoy Transitional Care at the Friendly Home.
“Glen comes to Friendly Senior Living at a time when care and services for older adults are at the forefront of change,” said David Whitaker, board chairman of Friendly Senior Living. “His extensive experience in the aging services and health care community will provide the clear vision and strong leadership necessary to ensure a bright future for Friendly Senior Living and the residents we serve.”
Prior to serving as Albany Memorial’s executive director, Cooper led St. Peter’s Nursing & Rehabilitation, a skilled nursing and transitional care facility run by Albany Memorial’s parent organization, the four-hospital St. Peter’s Health Partners system in Albany.
As Friendly Senior Living president and CEO, Cooper succeeds the organization’s recently retired longtime leader, former president and CEO James Dewhirst, who retired earlier this year after 34 years with the organization.
