Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center's board of trustees has elected a new chairman, the hospital said today.

Kay has been part of the hospital's history, serving as board chair of Beth Israel Hospital from 1994-96 and founding board chair of CareGroup Health System, the holding company of Beth Israel Deaconess. He has also been a trustee of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute since 1981.

Kay is also a founding director of Tenacity, a tennis/academic program for inner-city youth, and a vice chairman of the Boston Symphony Orchestra.
