Michael J. Toohey was elected chairperson of the Saratoga Hospital board of trustees for 2021.
The attorney and community leader has served on the board since 2013, most recently as vice chairperson. He also is a member of the board of directors of Albany Medical Center, Saratoga Hospital’s affiliate in the Albany Med Health System.
