“I am excited to join Yale and work with the talented staff at Yale Health,” Fish said. “I look forward to learning the needs of and collaborating with the university community to build upon Yale Health's accomplishments in delivering outstanding patient-centered care.”
Fish and his wife, Dr. Veronica Meneses, come to Yale as “first-year empty nesters,” Salovey wrote, with both of their children in college. “Drs. Fish and Meneses love to hike and are looking forward to exploring all the local trails with their two dogs,” Salovey wrote. “In his free time, Dr. Fish enjoys music, literature, and the cinema, with a particular love for science fiction, and is eager to experience the richness of all the opportunities offered at Yale and New Haven.”

In his message, Salovey expressed gratitude to colleagues at Yale Health “for their unflagging dedication to the health and well-being of the university community” and to Fortgang for her leadership during the transition. He also thanked members of the search advisory committee, chaired by Dr. Stephanie Spangler, Yale’s vice provost for health affairs, and John Whelan, vice president for human resources; the student consultative council; and members of the university community who shared their insights during the search process.
Said Spangler: “Participating in the search for the next chief executive officer of Yale Health was an extraordinarily rewarding experience. It was a great privilege to work with my co-chair, Vice President for Human Resources John Whelan, and our wise and dedicated partners on the search advisory committee, and so gratifying to see the strength of our community’s engagement in Yale Health’s future, as faculty, students, staff, and their families shared their health care experiences and aspirations with us. I am delighted that Dr. Fish will join our community — with his impressive record of accomplishment and his clear commitment to the health and well-being of individuals and populations, he is extremely well positioned to lead Yale Health into the future.”
