MIDDLETOWN, NY — Garnet Health’s Chief Medical Officer, Pamela Murphy, recently received the prestigious Doctor Chandler Award presented by the New York State Troopers Police Benevolent Association (PBA) at a dinner in Manhattan. Murphy was honored for her outstanding medical expertise, her dedication to New York State Troopers and their families and “for demonstrating a persistent willingness to protect those who protect the people of New York.”

Each year the State Trooper Surgeons Program, a division of the New York State Troopers PBA, honors select medical professionals and community members who have been instrumental in saving or improving the lives of New York State troopers or their family members. The event is also an opportunity for the New York State Troopers PBA to thank those who go above and beyond for troopers throughout the state.

In March 2024, Murphy was named Garnet Health Chief Medical Officer (CMO), when the roles of CMO at Garnet Health Medical Center - Catskills and Garnet Health Medical Center were consolidated into one systemwide position. She is the first female to have the CMO role at the health system.

Murphy oversees medical care provided at Garnet Health’s three hospital campuses—located in Callicoon, Harris and Middletown—and all hospital-based outpatient departments.
