CONNEAUT —The president of University Hospitals facilities in two Ashtabula County cities will step down from those posts next week, officials said.
Laurie Delgado will leave UH’s Conneaut and Geneva medical centers effective Monday to oversee the UH Richmond Medical Center in Richmond Heights, according to a statement.
“In this role, Ms. Delgado will have full responsibility for all clinical programs and services provided by UHRMC,” according to the statement.
Delgado became president at the Geneva hospital in 2003 and its Conneaut brethren in December 2005. At the latter hospital, she replaced long-time president William Lawrence.
Under her guidance Geneva Medical Center completed a $1.5 million facelift of its emergency department and began construction of the UH Geneva Medical office building. At Conneaut, she monitored the launch of a state-of-the-art surgical suite.
“Both entities also have exhibited strong operating performance and consistently improving quality outcomes under Ms. Delgado’s direction,” according to the statement.
She received the YWCA Women of Professional Excellence Award in 2005 and sits on the board of the Geneva Area Chamber of Commerce, LEADERship Ashtabula and the Community Care Ambulance Network.
Rob David, UH’s director of finance, will serve as acting president of both hospitals. Delgado is on vacation, a spokeswoman at CMC said Wednesday, and unavailable for comment.
