Mr. Bennett takes over the chairmanship from Cornelius “Neil” Ferris of Southborough, who is retiring after serving 10 years as a member of the Marlborough Hospital board of trustees, eight of those years as chairman. Mr. Ferris also served four years as a member of the UMass Memorial Health Care system board of trustees.

We are grateful to have these two respected leaders take on these leadership roles at such a critical time in health care,” said Polanowicz. “Rick and Michael bring a great deal of experience in guiding their respective organizations to much success and growth. We look forward to their guidance as the hospital continues to expand its services to the community and our ongoing focus on patient care.”

Murphy and Bennett assumed their new positions in March.
