AMSTERDAM, N.Y., Feb. 10, 2025—Margaret Sullivan has been named nursing director of inpatient behavioral health at St. Mary’s Healthcare, a leading provider of behavioral health services in the Fulton-Montgomery region.

She comes to St. Mary’s from United Health Services Binghamton General Hospital, where she served as interim director of nursing for the hospital’s behavioral health and emergency service lines.
Previously, Sullivan held behavioral health leadership and management positions in two Mount Sinai Health System hospitals in New York City; Montefiore Nyack Hospital in Nyack, New York; Belmont Behavioral Health Hospital in Philadelphia; and, locally, at Ellis Medicine in Schenectady and Samaritan Hospital in Troy.
“In addition to strong leadership and clinical skills, Margaret shares St. Mary’s dedication to compassionate evidence-based care—and to a supportive work culture,” said Jeff Methven, president and CEO of St. Mary’s Healthcare. “She is an excellent addition to our team as we continue to prioritize behavioral healthcare for our community.”
