McMenamin helped lead the search committee for Landers' successor alongside vice chairman Robert Dibble.

"Christopher is a compassionate servant leader with a deep passion for public health and a drive to ensure high-quality services are provided to the community," Landers said in a statement. "As a respected healthcare policy and public health leader, Christopher is an excellent fit for our future."

Throughout his career, Rinn has worked in public health, policy, and community health. He's served as CEO for VNA of Central Jersey Community Health Centers (CHC) since 2017.

Before joining the organization, he served as acting health commissioner for the New Jersey Department of Health, as well as executive director of emergency medical services (EMS) and government affairs for Jersey City Medical Center.

"[The board and I] will work closely with Dr. Landers and the whole team to ensure a smooth transition," Rinn said in a statement. "As a longtime member of the VNA family, I heartily welcome this opportunity to help move healthcare forward for all our communities."
