LETTER FROM THE CEO CONTINUING OUR MISSION In my ﬁrst nine months as president and CEO of University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center, I’ve had the good fortune to meet many members of our community who have a tremendous afﬁnity for the medical center. They understand that philanthropy is the difference between a good hospital and a great one, and support our mission that health care can and should be practiced with love and compassion. A new chapter is beginning in the storied history of UM St. Joseph Medical Center. As we create a unique paradigm in health care, offering the latest innovations in research and technology in an environment that embraces spirituality, donor partnerships become even more essential.
