Susan Fox is recognized as one of Westchester County’s most influential executives and a visionary leader in regional healthcare industry transformation. Over the past decade, she has forged strategic partnerships, recruited top clinical and administrative talent, and driven the hospital’s growth as the tertiary care hub of Montefiore Health System and a leading provider of advanced healthcare in the Hudson Valley. In 2024, Susan was appointed Montefiore’s Regional Senior Vice President for the Hudson Valley. In this role, she oversees the strategic coordination of the region’s hospitals, while continuing her role as President and CEO of White Plains Hospital.

She was named Executive Vice President in 2011, President in January 2013, and CEO in 2015. Under her leadership, the Hospital has experienced significant revenue growth and has expanded greatly to deliver quality care close to home for patients in the Hudson Valley. Ms. Fox developed the first ambulatory physician network for the Hospital, White Plains Hospital Physician Associates, which now employs more than 300 physicians in 33 outpatient locations across Westchester County and the Hudson Valley.  
Before joining White Plains Hospital, Susan was a Senior Vice President at North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, where she developed and oversaw Physician and Ambulatory Network Services. She previously served as Senior Manager of Health Care Consulting at Ernst and Young, specializing in strategy and hospital reengineering.

THE REAL ESTATE AWARD - Mark Stagg & Stagg Group

Mark Stagg has been creating homes for nearly 30 years.  He began by building modest single-family and multi-family homes in the Bronx.  From there, he and Stagg Group moved on to small apartment buildings and eventually to large high-rises in Westchester County and the Bronx.  His notable projects include The Riverdale Tower, Bronx (89 Units), West View Apartments, New Rochelle (186 Units), and Whitlock Point, Bronx (265 Units).  While some of his recent buildings offer higher-end market-rate housing, many are designed with one goal in mind – to provide affordable housing for working families who deserve to raise their families in high-quality, well-built homes.  Mark has never wavered from his main goal of building and managing affordable housing for people.  To date, Stagg Group has built more than 5,000 affordable housing units and has more than 3,000 units in the pipeline.
While Stagg Group focuses on building and managing housing, Marks philanthropy extends far past his role as a business owner. Family and community are central to his identity and serve as the foundation of his support for others through charitable efforts and the old-fashioned idea of giving back.  Whether it’s his longtime passion for providing thousands of turkeys to those in need every Thanksgiving, donating to Camp Bronx to help hundreds of underprivileged kids attend summer camp. He is also a member of the board for White Plains Hospital, devoting his time and resources to the new expansion of White Plains Hospital. Mark defines success by doing everything he can to lift up those around him and improve communities.  He is truly grateful for the opportunity to dedicate his time and resources to improving communities and supporting families in Westchester and the Bronx.
Mark is honored to accept the March of Dimes Real Estate Award and is especially thankful to the March of Dimes for the incredibly important work they do.
