Ms. Sollenberger comments on the institution’s view of John Mendelsohn: a trusted and loved leader, the “dad” and energetic third president. She recalls in-house candidates for the position of president and also her interview with Dr. Mendelsohn, who spent time getting to know the organization, faculty, and staff when he first arrived. She contrasts Dr. Charles LeMaistre’s focus on patient-centered excellence with Dr. Mendelsohn’s work on building research excellence. She comments on her departure from MD Anderson to take the position of Chief Operating Officer at City of Hope Hospital: she had ambitions to become a president or CEO and felt she had reached the highest position possible at MD Anderson.Date
