ROBERT SHAPIRO

SHAPIRO--Robert S. The staff and trustees of Northwell Health mourn the loss of Robert (Bob) Shapiro, our devoted friend and former Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. For over 30 years, Bob played a major role in making Northwell what it is today. From the deregulation of hospital reimbursements to the creation of our ever growing and evolving health system, Bob laid down the financial foundation needed for our continued expansion of providing the best healthcare to our communities. His innovative ideas and strategies earned him respect on Wall Street, along with helping Northwell earn A-level bond ratings from the nation's three largest credit agencies. Bob was an extraordinary man and an esteemed member of the Northwell family, who believed deeply in our health system and its mission. As a dedicated leader, mentor, and gifted finance professional, Bob was a kind, humble and compassionate person who was beloved by his staff and colleagues. All of us at Northwell honor the memory of our dear friend Bob, he will be truly missed. We extend our heartfelt and deepest sympathies to his wife Raweya, his two children Laura and David, his two grandchildren, Andrew and Emily and to all those whose lives were touched by this remarkable man. His lasting legacy at Northwell will always be remembered. The family will be having a private service. Donations in Bob's memory will benefit the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research's Center for Autoimmune, Musculoskeletal and Musculoskeletal Disease.
