IN BRIEF: HUP director appointed

Mair, who assumed the role of Associate Hospital Director of Operational Services on July 1, will be responsible for maintaining the stability of operations and searching for opportunities to build new programs and services. "Initially I hope to serve as a catalyst for the sharing of strengths of both institutions," Mair said. "By streamlining some duplicative administrative functions, we will create a more seamless hospital environment to better meet the needs of our patients and faculty." -- Betty Yuan
