The University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) named Christine Andrews, CPA, a veteran of nearly 30 years in medical and health care advancement, as the system’s first vice president for philanthropy shared services.
In the new position, Andrews will streamline UMMS’ approach to transformational giving, allowing donors to support large-scale projects that improve health care throughout Maryland while furthering the system’s mission. She will collaborate with chief development officers across the system’s member organizations to create a collaborative model in support of philanthropic operations and the System’s strategic priorities.
Andrews comes to UMMS from Dartmouth Health in New Hampshire and Vermont, where she unified six diverse member institutions into a centralized framework, doubling their five-year fundraising average. Prior, at Hackensack Meridian Health Network in New Jersey, she led a 20-person team and established new donor pipeline tracking systems and a forecasting system for major gifts and also helped shape the strategic direction at Henry Ford Health System in Detroit.
