One of her biggest accomplishments since stepping into her role as President and CEO of Chilton Memorial Hospital has been transforming the hospital's financial performance from that of a large operating loss to one of an operating gain within her first full year as CEO.

As a result of her strong leadership and focus on providing outstanding healthcare, Chilton Memorial Hospital was recognized in 2005 by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services (NJDHSS) and by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services as having an overall score of 100% for heart attack care, the highest score possible. Under Ms. Zastocki's leadership, Chilton Memorial Hospital has expanded its practices in gerontology by becoming a Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders (NICHE) Hospital.

Ms. Zastocki has also focused on making Chilton Memorial the work place of choice for staff, the hospital of choice for patients, and the facility of choice for physicians. She implemented numerous organizational strategies that dramatically impacted employee satisfaction.

Ms. Zastocki earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree with highest distinction from the University of Rhode Island. She earned a Master of Arts in Nursing and her Master of Education degree in Community Health, both from Columbia University. She began her nursing career in 1974, and then moved through the executive ranks of patient care and administration at a number of northern New Jersey hospitals.

Ms. Zastocki was hired and appointed vice-president of Patient Care Services at Chilton Memorial Hospital in 1990. During this time, she developed a new on-campus ambulatory surgery center, developed Occupational Health Services, and transformed the mobile mammography service into a full-service Breast Center. In 2000, she assumed additional administrative duties, and became the hospital's Chief Operating Officer/Chief Nurse Executive.

In June 2002, Ms. Zastocki's peers recognized her leadership when they elected her president of the Association of Health Care Executives of New Jersey. With the organization's backing, she worked closely with graduate schools to provide education, networking opportunities, and mentoring opportunities to new and prospective health care leaders.

In 2005, Ms. Zastocki was presented with the AHENJ Annual Distinguished Service Award, which recognizes an individual, who has made a significant contribution to, and an impact on, healthcare in New Jersey and the field of healthcare in general.

She currently serves on the New Jersey Hospital Association Policy Development Committee, American College of Healthcare Executives, Programs, Products & Services Committee, and is a Board member of the Tri-County Chamber of Commerce.

A consummate professional, Ms. Zastocki also made the time to mentor health care professionals by teaching a graduate course at William Paterson University so students there could understand leadership styles, conflict management, team building, and ethical and legal issues.
