University of California, Davis, Chancellor Gary S. May announced today that David Lubarsky, �������ϲ����Ͽ� Davis Health’s vice chancellor of human health sciences and chief executive officer, will retire from the university effective Feb. 15, 2025.  After his retirement, Lubarsky will become president and CEO of Westchester Medical Center Health Network, a nine-hospital health system near where he grew up, in Valhalla, New York.

Lubarsky has led �������ϲ����Ͽ� Davis Health since July 2018. During his tenure, he increased the number of patients by more than 60%, increased and diversified the �������ϲ����Ͽ� Davis faculty and staff, and made �������ϲ����Ͽ� Davis Health an employer of choice on multiple national lists of best places to work.

Under Lubarsky’s leadership, �������ϲ����Ͽ� Davis Health has become one of the top health systems in the nation for patient outcomes (and now in the top five nationally for reduced mortality) and launched a transformational change of the health system’s facilities to better care for even more patients. He was named as one of the “top academic CEOs to know” by Becker’s Hospital Review this week. During his tenure, he focused on restoring the community’s trust in �������ϲ����Ͽ� Davis Health and demonstrated the university’s commitment to improving care for all people.

“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Lubarsky for his visionary leadership as well as his numerous contributions to advancing our mission of innovation, excellence, and outstanding service,” Chancellor May said. “We wish him well in the next chapter of his distinguished career.”

After Lubarsky’s departure, Chancellor May will work on an interim plan that will ensure continued alignment with �������ϲ����Ͽ� Davis Health’s strategic goals while positioning the health system for future success. It’s expected that an interim announcement will be made in late January.
