Saratoga Hospital: Donnarumma Named Chair of Emergency Medicine; Bourla Leads New Allergy And Clinical Immunology Practice

SARATOGA SPRINGS —
Dr. Robert Donnarumma has been named chair of the Department of Emergency Medicine at Saratoga Hospital, responsible for care at the hospital’s Alfred Z. Solomon Emergency Center and urgent care centers in Wilton and Queensbury.

He also will continue to serve as medical director of Saratoga Hospital’s COVID-19 testing tent, a responsibility he took on in March when the hospital launched its pandemic-related testing services.

“Donnarumma has demonstrated the skill, dedication and leadership to head one of our most critical and visible service lines,” said Richard Falivena, vice president and chief medical and physician integration officer at Saratoga Hospital.

Donnarumma’s new responsibilities will also include serving as medical director of Saratoga Hospital’s stroke program. In addition, he will remain medical director of the hospital’s Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners Program and Saratoga Hospital’s representative on the Regional Medical Advisory Committee.

A graduate of Cornell University, Donnarumma earned his medical degree from New York Medical College in Valhalla. He completed a residency in emergency medicine at the School of Medicine at the State University of New York at Buffalo, where his clinical rotations included a regional trauma center, a children’s hospital, community hospitals and an inner-city tertiary care center. He also has a Master of Public Health degree, with a specialization in health policy and management, from New York Medical College.Donnarumma is board certified in emergency medicine. He joined Saratoga Hospital in 2013.

Dr. Lorelei Bourla has joined Saratoga Hospital to lead the latest addition to its multidisciplinary medical group: Saratoga Hospital Medical Group – Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

The new practice provides care for patients of all ages who have asthma, allergies and other conditions caused by problems with the body’s immune system. These types of disorders are on the rise. Although most cannot be cured, treatments can help relieve and manage symptoms.

“These conditions can take a toll on individual and community health,” said Falivena. “Our new practice will increase access to care for these patients and help them improve and enjoy day-to-day life.” 

“Bourla is an excellent choice to launch this effort,” he added. “She has the clinical expertise and takes the time to get to know and understand the ‘whole patient,’ not just his or her condition.”

Bourla earned her medical degree at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center School of Medicine. After an internship and residency at Tulane University School of Medicine in New Orleans, she completed a fellowship in adult allergy and clinical immunology at National Jewish Health in Denver. She is board certified in allergy and immunology and in internal medicine.

Saratoga Hospital Medical Group – Allergy and Immunology is located at 3044 Rte. 50, Saratoga Springs. For an appointment call 518-886-5814. To learn more, go to www.saratogahospital.org.
