PRESS RELEASE

NEW WINDSOR, NY—Mobile Life Support Services announced December 28, 2022 that after 36 years at Mobile Life Support and eight years as CEO, Scott F. Woebse will retire effective January 2022. 

“It has truly been my honor and privilege to have spent my career here,” said Woebse. “I have been mentored by and worked alongside some of the most intuitive and innovative providers in the industry and I am so proud to have worn the Mobile Life Blue for so many years.”

The Mobile Life Support Services Board of Directors announced the appointment of Pamela Finnerty as the company’s new president and CEO effective January 2022. Finnerty holds a bachelor’s of science in health education, a master’s of science in health informatics, and an MBA with a concentration in human resources. She is enrolled in a doctor of business program beginning in 2022.

“The best way to predict your future is to create it,” said Finnerty. “And as a professional woman in a predominantly male-dominated field, it’s inspiring for me to be stepping into the CEO role in a female-owned business.”
