It was an honor and a privilege for us to meet the new President of RWJ/Barnabas, Mr. Michael Antoniades at the recent RWJ Proton Therapy ribbon cutting event (I blogged all about it, right here) and then again yesterday at the RWJ Annual Golf outing where Regency sponsored the Golf Carts.
In fact, at the proton therapy event, I captured this photo of Mr. Antoniades during his speech:
At last nights golf event, Mr. Antoniades actually captured a selfie together with our Regency Corporate Administrator, Mr. Marty Bengio, which he later emailed him!
See the picture below:
Marty described Mr. Antoniades as an “unpretentious, warm and energetic personality,” with an exceptional vision for the growth of this venerated Healthcare system.
We look forward to continuing to help bring that vision to fruition in our capacity as one of the preferred providers for RW/Barnabas and we wish Mr. Antoniades every success in his new role.
