MHS Announces Departure of Dr. Steven Friedman; Search for New Executive Director
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.

"The MHS Board of Trustees has begun the search for executive leadership of the same caliber that Dr. Friedman provided the past 16 years," noted Dr. Richard Robins, MHS Board Chair. "The agency is deeply indebted to Dr. Friedman and we wish him well in his new position."

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.
