O'Neill leaving Mount Auburn Hospital board

Thomas P. O'Neill III, the former lieutenant governor and son of the late speaker of the US House of Representatives, is stepping down from the Mount Auburn Hospital board of trustees after serving on it for 25 years, including the last seven as chairman. O'Neill will remain chairman of a Mount Auburn capital fund-raising campaign to raise $21 million to help finance an $80 million expansion at the Cambridge hospital.

O'Neill will retain a title as board member emeritus and will be succeeded by biotechnology executive Stephen Chubb. ``It really is somebody else's turn,'' O'Neill said.
