Sept - Oct 2014

As of July 10 Dr. Joanne Mather Conroy was named CEO of Lahey Hospital and Medical Center. Regulars at Peter Christian’s will remember her as a vivacious server, a chemistry major known then as Joanne Clark. Dr. Conroy was named one of Modern Healthcare’s “Top 25 Influential Women in Health” in 2001. According to Ann Marie Connolly, chairman of the board of trustees of Lahey, “In addition to her clinical excellence Dr. Conroy has a record of executive leadership building consensus, improving operating performance and increasing both patient and staff satisfaction.” Congratulations, Joanne!


Chris Jenny, president of the consulting concern the Parthenon Group, sends news of his brood: “Lauren ’14 was fully engaged in Dartmouth life. Alex ’10 is attending Tuck this fall and is fired up. He started up an athletic footwear company with football teammate Tim McManus ’12 and Tim’s brother Ryan ’15. Chris ’12 has accepted a job in San Francisco with Tesla Motors. Lizzie is a soccer/basketball/track-loving senior at Wayland, Massachusetts. I am enjoying my stint on the Dartmouth athletics advisory board—helping athletics director Harry Sheehy make Dartmouth more competitive in the Ivy League. Suggestions are welcome.”


Jim Mayfield has some sad news: “My 22-year-old daughter, Christy, has been living with brain cancer for five years but her time is getting short. Anyone working on trials related to Plk3R1, P53/P28 or CDK4/6, please email jim@islandbusinessbrokers.com or call (808) 240-3020. Hoping that someone is working on a trial relating to markers in my daughter’s genome.”
