Date:10/30/2008

CLEVELAND, Oct. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Mental Health Services (MHS) announced the departure of its long-serving Executive Director, Dr. Steven Friedman, who will assume the position of President and Chief Executive Officer at The Cleveland Sight Center.

As Executive Director of MHS, Dr. Friedman became one of Cuyahoga County's most effective advocates for quality healthcare and supportive services for vulnerable children and adults including those who were homeless, mentally ill, considering suicide and incapacitated by dependency. For homeless adults with mental disabilities, Friedman, through MHS, created the most comprehensive and coordinated scope of services of any agency in Ohio.
