CPMC Board of Directors honors
President Emeritus Jerry Mapp

Exemplary Leadership

Extraordinary leadership, generous spirit, great vision

On June 1, 2009 Jerry W. Mapp, long time President & CEO of CPMC Foundation moved to the newly created position of President Emeritus. He will continue to be active in his new role working with the many donors, friends and supporters of the Medical Center that have come to know him so well. At their May 2009 meeting, the Board of Directors of California Pacific Medical Center (now the Sutter West Bay Hospitals Board of Directors) passed a resolution honoring Jerry and thanking him for his 25 years of outstanding service to the institution.

Jerry is the rock on which CPMC Foundation was built and we are grateful for his extraordinary leadership, generous spirit and great vision. In 1981, Founding Chairman Mrs. Morris Doyle, began the Foundation through her own generosity as well as the hospital's with a $2 million gift. By the end of 2009, the Foundation's invested fund balance had grown to $200 million. Highlights of Jerry’s accomplishments also include helping to raise over $300 million during his 25-year tenure.
