Jennifer Yartym Named Guthrie Corning Hospital President

The Guthrie Clinic is pleased to announce the appointment of Jennifer Yartym as President of Guthrie Corning Hospital, effective Jan. 1. She will also maintain her role as President of Guthrie Cortland Medical Center.

“As President of both hospitals, I will focus on creating consistency and standardizing processes to deliver the highest quality care,” Ms. Yartym said. “I am fortunate to work with strong leaders and caregivers at both hospitals to support this work.”

Before joining Cortland Medical Center in 2019, Ms. Yartym was with Corning Hospital for 19 years, including time as Vice President of Operations. She also served as Interim Hospital President during the COVID pandemic, guiding response and recovery.

Her appointment at Corning Hospital comes as Paul VerValin steps down from his role as Corning Hospital President to focus on system responsibilities as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
