ONEONTA, N.Y. -- Governor David Paterson has announced the
appointment of Oneonta physician Diane Georgeson, MD, PC, to the College
Council of the SUNY College at Oneonta. Dr. Georgeson replaces Catherine D.
Black, who had served on the Council since 1999.
Since 2003, Dr. Georgeson has operated a private practice in obstetrics
and gynecology in Oneonta. She has served as medical director of Planned
Parenthood of South Central New York since 2001.
Previously, Dr. Georgeson served as an attending physician at Albany
Medical Center and with Bassett Healthcare in Cooperstown. From 1987 to
1999, she ran a private practice in Oregon after completing her residency
and internship with the Oregon Health Services University Hospital.
Locally, she is a board member of the Future for Oneonta Foundation and a
member of the City of Oneonta Centennial Committee. She served as President
of the Medical Staff at A.O. Fox Hospital in 2008.
Dr. Georgeson completed her medical degree at the University of Vermont
College of Medicine and earned her bachelor's degree from Bates College. She
is a graduate of Oneonta High School and the Percy I. Bugbee School.
Each state-operated campus in the SUNY system has its own College
Council. College Councils have specific statutory powers, such as naming
buildings and making regulations regarding student conduct. The members of
each council are appointed by the governor with the exception of the student
representative, who is elected by the student body.
