People Joseph Mapa plans to leave Mount Sinai Hospital TORONTO – Earlier this month, Mount Sinai Hospital President and CEO Joseph Mapa (pictured) issued the following statement: I wanted you to know that earlier today our Board Chair, Lawrence Bloomberg, informed our Mount Sinai Hospital Board of Directors of my decision to step down as President and CEO, 18 months from now, by January, 2013. This timeframe is intended to ensure continuity of leadership and is consistent with the ongoing discussions I have had with our Board Chair about the future of the Hospital and my personal goals. For the past 11 years, I have been proud to serve as your President and CEO. Together we have accomplished so much for our Hospital, our patients, and our community. Mount Sinai is in a very strong position, poised for a great future with an exceptionally talented team of staff, volunteers, physicians, scientists and Board. I consider it a privilege to be a part of this team. From a personal perspective I believe the time is right. I have been given a unique opportunity to serve within the Dean's Office and as the Executive-in-Residence at the University of Toronto Scarborough upon completion of my tenure here. In this role, I will help build a leading edge framework for health studies and contribute to a long-term vision for this campus. Many of you know that I have always been drawn to the academic world and I am looking forward to furthering my deep commitment to the healthcare sector. Over the next 18 months I will work closely with our Board, our Senior Management and Clinical Leadership Teams to push forward our important agenda and to ensure a smooth transition. I will keep you informed as the Board implements a formal search for my successor. For now, there is much work to be done. I remain focused on our collective mission and working with all of you to ensure that the Hospital continues on a dynamic trajectory.
