Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic announced that Angel McCullough has been named chief nursing officer of Nazareth Hospital and St. Mary Medical Center. McCullough is responsible for providing clinical and administrative nursing leadership at both hospital campuses, overseeing planning, directing, monitoring and evaluating safe, high-quality patient care across the continuum.
“I, along with the entire nursing staff of St. Mary Medical Center and Nazareth Hospital, are thrilled to welcome Angel, who brings extensive clinical experience, a love for the nursing profession and an authentic, transparent and servant leadership style to our organization,” said Dr. Michael Magro, president of Nazareth and St. Mary. “I am confident that she will lead our nurses forward at both campuses to advance clinical practice and patient care for all those we serve.”
McCullough joins Trinity Health Mid-Atlantic from Jefferson Health System, where she spent two-and-a-half years in senior nursing leadership roles, most recently serving as senior director of Nursing Operations and Patient Care Services.
