Dr. Nicole Lamborne, who most recently was Virtua Health's vice president of clinical operations for women's and children's services, has been named president of Virtua Voorhees Hospital and Virtua Marlton Hospital where she will lead operations, strategy and patient experience, according to Virtua.
Lamborne, who also becomes a Virtua Health senior vice president, will continue to oversee Virtua services for women and children across the system, announced the large health care provider, which has five hospitals, 42 ambulatory surgery centers and 400 other locations in South Jersey.

She succeeds Mark Nessel, who is retiring.Â
Lamborne lives in Monroeville and grew up in Marlton.
Virtua singled out Lamborne's work with children and women services, noting: "She provided enterprise leadership across multiple hospitals and outpatient settings and was accountable for clinical quality and safety, physician alignment, workforce strategy, and program development. She partnered closely with hospital presidents, chief nursing officers, and system leaders to advance Virtua's strategic priorities and continually improve care delivery."
The new hospital chief received her medical degree from Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Brunswick and completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Cooper University Hospital. She also earned an MBA in healthcare management from the University of Scranton.
Under her guidance, Virtua earned national recognition for maternal care quality and Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes in Camden "became one of only 26 hospitals in the United States recognized for addressing racial disparities in cesarean delivery and hypertension outcomes. She also launched New Jersey's first hospital-owned, freestanding midwifery birth center. In addition, she established an OB/GYN physician residency program whose inaugural class achieved a 100% board-certification pass rate," Virtua said in the announcement.
