"I have been at MetroHealth as Vice President, Communications since January 2005, where I am in charge of a staff that handles internal communications, media relations, marketing, advertising, development communications, community relations, senior services, creative services (including audio and video production), diversity, and pastoral care. I am part of the senior team, reporting directly to the President and Chief Executive Officer. I am passionate about the work we do at MetroHealth and constantly impressed with the commitment of the people here. The patients and staff are inspiring, and I am tremendously fulfilled by my job.Before MetroHealth, I spent ten years in charge of media relations and other public relations/advertising responsibilities as Director of Communications at University Hospitals of Cleveland.
When I left Channel 3 in 1992, I created my own company, Medical News Network, to provide medical video production, media training and consulting services to health care organizations and physicians. University Hospitals of Cleveland became my largest client, and I produced prime-time half hour specials for UH that aired in the local market. Eventually, UH asked for me to come on board full-time, and I left the company behind in late 1994.
My son Ben, born during my TV3 years, is now an actor in New York City, having graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. And my daughter Rachel, born during by TV5 years, is now a veterinary student at University of California in Davis, CA, and pursuing her dream of equine medicine and radiology. My husband, Bob, and I will be married 30 years in January, and he remains a successful clinical psychologist, specializing in forensic psychology.
I remain in touch with many old friends from TV3, and occasionally visit the station to deal with advertising issues. Most recently, I appeared on the air (that was frightening!) when Del retired and we announced that he would become MetroHealth's "senior correspondent."
Former TV3 producer, Susan Christopher, is my Manager of Media Communications here at MetroHealth, and she writes and produces all the Del segments that appear on TV 3, featuring MetroHealth senior health specialists. She also works with station producers on the Metrohealth spots featuring Monica Robins offering rehabilitation advice to consumers."
