Kronenberg Joins Board of J. M. Woodworth Risk Retention Group -- Doctor Owned Medical Malpractice Insurer
SYRACUSE, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 15, 2007 -- Seth Evan Kronenberg, MD, a prominent
internist, has been elected to the Board of J. M. Woodworth Risk Retention
Group, Inc., the recently launched writer of medical malpractice insurance
for physicians and surgeons in New York State.
Dr. Kronenberg is Chief Executive Officer-Private Practice, Internist
Associates of Central New York, PC. He is a member of the American Board of
Internal Medicine and serves as Attending Physician at Crouse Hospital in
Syracuse.
"We're pleased to have Seth on our Board. His knowledge of medicine and
hospital practice, along with his extensive experience in one of our
primary market areas, will contribute greatly to the Company's success,"
said Sanford Elsass, President of J. M. Woodworth.
Dr. Kronenberg said, "Woodworth is the first viable alternative for
malpractice insurance for physicians in New York State in decades. They
offer superior risk management programs, which are applicable to everyday
practice and tailored directly to our Group. I feel that in addition to
significant cost savings, the patients and physicians will benefit from the
improved practice of medicine through the risk reduction programs offered
by Woodworth."
J. M. Woodworth was formed by a group of doctors to relieve the medical
malpractice insurance crisis in New York that was brought on by escalating
rates and the withdrawal from the market by a number of carriers. The
Company began writing med mal policies early this year and is growing
rapidly in Central New York, the Syracuse area, and the greater New York
metropolitan region. "Selective underwriting and professional risk
management will control losses as we extend operations across the State,"
Elsass stated.
Dr. Kronenberg received his B.A. in Biology from the University of
Pennsylvania and his M.D. from SUNY Health and Science Center, where he
also completed his Residency in Internal Medicine.
