Saratoga Hospital Names New Vice President, Chief Nursing Officer

Toni Bishop-McWain
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.—Saratoga Hospital has named Toni Bishop-McWain as vice president and chief nursing officer. She has 25 years of nursing administration experience, most recently as vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer at OSF St. Joseph Medical Center, a large, integrated health system in Bloomington, Illinois.
The Glens Falls native and former Wilton resident also has held nursing leadership roles in critical care, cardiopulmonary services and cardiovascular services. Earlier in her career, Bishop-McWain worked in the intensive care unit of Glens Falls Hospital.
“She brings an extraordinary combination of skills, experience and passion, an appreciation of the exceptional quality of our nursing team, and long-standing ties to the Saratoga region,” said Dr. Richard Falivena, vice president and chief medical and physician integration officer at Saratoga Hospital.
Bishop-McWain was born at Glens Falls Hospital and has extended family in the region. During her 10 years at Glens Falls Hospital, she, her husband and their son and daughter lived in Wilton. The children attended school in Saratoga Springs.
Those connections—and Saratoga Hospital’s reputation—played a key role in Bishop-McWain’s decision to seek the top nursing position.
“I knew Saratoga Hospital was growing, has fantastic nurses, and is respected for its patient outcomes and collaborative environment,” she said. “I saw an opportunity to be part of an organization that does amazing things—and to give back to a community that has served me and my family.”
Bishop-McWain began her nursing education at Adirondack Community College, went on to earn bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nursing from Sacred Heart University in Connecticut, and has a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from OSF Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing.
