“His exceptional track record in healthcare finance and operations will directly benefit the communities we proudly serve, and we are thrilled to welcome him to HRH.”
Zehner has more than 30 years of leadership experience including several senior leadership roles within RWJBarnabas Health, including chief operating officer for Newark Beth Israel Medical Center (NBIMC) and senior vice president of finance and CFO for NBIMC.
Most recently, he served as northeast regional CFO at RWJBarnabas Health (RWJBH), where he played a central role in financial planning, campus revitalization initiatives, and operational capacity improvements across a multi-hospital regional portfolio.
At HRH, he will seek to drive the health system’s strategic growth, strengthen financial performance, and support the development of a unified, patient‑centered regional health network, officials said.
“Doug is an exceptional addition to the HRH family,” began HRH CEO and President Dr. Nizar Kifaieh.
“His decades of experience revitalizing healthcare systems, strong financial acumen, and consistent track record of success make him exactly the type of leader that will further drive our growth in the region. We are fortunate to have him joining our executive team, and I look forward to working closely with him in the months ahead.”
