Sherri Bishop Named to Head Development at UHHS

CLEVELAND -- Tom Zenty, president and chief executive officer of University Hospitals Health System, today announced the appointment of Sherri Bishop to the position of senior vice president for Institutional Relations and Development.  Bishop comes to UHHS after 13 years at the Cleveland Clinic, where she most recently was vice chairman of the division of Institutional Relations and Development.

"One of the top priorities of the System has been to strengthen fundraising efforts to support our mission to provide the most advanced care across University Hospitals Health System," said Zenty.  "Sherri has a distinguished record of achievement in her 13 years of progressive responsibility at the Cleveland Clinic, including broad responsibilities in the areas of planned giving, campaign management and principal gifts.  In Sherri, we have found an extremely results-oriented professional to help us realize our development potential."

Bishop joined the Clinic in 1991 as assistant director of Planned Giving, and worked her way up in the department to become vice chairman in 1998.  She came to the Clinic from the law firm of McDonald Hopkins Burke & Haber.  Prior to her legal work, she was employed in the sales division of Procter & Gamble.  She received her law degree from Case Western Reserve University in 1990, and her BA in psychology from the University of Cincinnati in 1982. 

Bishop resides in Lakewood, Ohio, with her husband, Rich, and their three children, ages 5, 9, and 11.
