The chief executive of the prestigious Lahey Hospital & Medical Center, in Burlington, Mass., is leaving to lead New Hampshire’s largest health system.

Dartmouth-Hitchcock is associated with the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College. Its flagship is Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, New Hampshire’s only academic medical center,

Dr. Conroy has only headed  Lahey Hospital since July 2014.  Her exit after such a short time may suggest that she wasn’t happy there. The hospital is the flagship of Lahey Health, a Greater Boston system whose CEO is Howard Grant, M.D. He’ll  take on the dual role of being CEO for the Burlington hospital, too. He’s had that dual role before.
