The vice president for AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's City Campus will become the hospital's new chief operating officer, hospital officials announced Thursday.

Margaret Belfield, of Egg Harbor Township, will take over the role held by ARMC president and CEO Lori Herndon, who was promoted earlier this year.

Belfield will assume her new position Nov. 30. She started as an administrator at the Atlantic City campus in 1999, overseeing its building expansion in recent years and the clinical operations of a care center used by members of Local 54 of UNITE-HERE. She also helped start a satellite emergency department this year at the former William B. Kessler Memorial Hospital in Hammonton.

"Having Margaret in this key operational leadership position allows me to focus on strategic issues, particularly enhancing and growing ARMC programs and services," Herndon said in a statement. "I know she will keep her eye on sustaining ARMC's high performance and achievement on so many fronts."

ARMC also has a Galloway Township location called the Mainland Campus.

Belfield previously worked at Hahnemann University Hospital-Tenet in Philadelphia, where she was a chief nursing officer and interim chief operating officer.
