She succeeds medical staff president Aluino L. Ochoa, MD, who served throughout 2017.

“Quality and safety are at the heart of everything that Parrish does and our physicians play a leadership role,” said Tronetti. “I have the privilege to work with physicians who practice evidence-based medicine based on national standards while retaining that small-town touch.

Caring for senior citizens is Tronetti’s medical practice focus, with particular attention on dementia, other complex medical problems, and caregiver support and education.

She received her medical degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; completed her internship and residency of general practice at the Millcreek Community Hospital in Erie, Pennsylvania; and a fellowship at the Philadelphia Geriatric Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Tronetti, a national expert on elder care, has published numerous articles in professional and general interest publications, among them the Journal of the American Medical Association, Vim and Vigor magazine, and a recurring column in the Health Section of Florida Today. She also is a frequent speaker across the country on the subject of elder care.

The American Geriatrics Society Board of Directors and its 2014 Awards Committee selected Dr. Tronetti for the AGS Clinician of the Year Award, which honors clinicians who make outstanding contributions to quality healthcare to older people.
