SCHENECTADY - Hometown Health Centers said Monday that Robert Bylancik, most recently CEO at Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital, will serve as interim CEO while a search is conducted for a permanent leader for the federally funded health center on State Street.
Bylancik succeeds John M. Silva, who resigned last month after holding the position for six years. Blyancik has been working at the center for the last couple of weeks. He couldn't be reached for comment Monday afternoon. Bylancik was president and CEO of Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital in Schenectady for seven years starting in 2000.
His career began at Sunnyview in 1969 as a staff social worker. He served in roles including director of the facility's social work depart ment, assistant administrator and acting president.
Angella Timothy, a registered nurse at the center who holds a master's degree in health policy and management and is vice president of clinical services, ran the center until Bylancik was named.
Hometown Health operates its primary health care facility at 1044 State St. and offers obstetrical, pediatric, family medicine, gynecological, nutrition, optometry, podiatry and clinical social work services.
Hometown Health has struggled in recent years to make ends meet, as more patients without health insurance are being seen.
