A pediatrician is stepping up as Medical Director of the Greater Danbury Community Health Center.  Dr David Savarese has been appointed to the position.  He most recently served in a similar role at a health center in Norwalk.  Connecticut Institute For Communities Executive Director James Maloney says Savarese will still be a practicing pediatrician.

This appointment follows the retirement of Dr Thomas Draper.  The Health Center's pediatrician is also retiring.  Dr Savarese will essentially take over that practice as well.

The Health Center provides primary care for children, adolescents and adults.
