Whitney Fenyak, CEO of Parkland, was pleased to attend the Derry Village Rotary Club to talk about her healthcare career and share updates about the hospital.

Last week, we were pleased to welcome Whitney Fenyak, CEO of Parkland Medical Center. Whitney shared the story of her career journey working in healthcare systems across the country before returning home to her native New Hampshire in 2025.

Since stepping into the role just over a year ago, Whitney has focused on strengthening services and expanding access to care. Key priorities include renovations to the ER Rapid Care area, completing the third-floor renovations, and adding additional patient rooms to better serve the community.

Whitney also spoke about the importance of building stronger connections with the community and expanding outreach efforts. By engaging more directly with local organizations and residents, her goal is to ensure Parkland is not only recognized for quality care, but also as a trusted and active community partner.

We appreciated the opportunity to hear about the work underway and the continued commitment to providing high-quality care for our region.
