Cindy Lima
Cindy Lima, executive director of UCSF Medical Center, has been appointed project director of the children's, women's and cancer hospital complex and related facilities development at Mission Bay.
Lima was involved in the early Mission Bay clinical facilities planning effort and later co-directed the project. For many months, she has been leading the project, which just completed concept design and is midway through schematic design.
UCSF is planning to build a 289-bed, integrated medical center to serve children, women and cancer patients on a 14.5-acre parcel, which is south of UCSF's existing 43-acre life sciences campus at Mission Bay. Upon completion of the first phase in 2014, the hospital complex will include:
* A 183-bed children's hospital and pediatric primary and specialty ambulatory care facilities;
* A 36-bed women's hospital and select women's ambulatory services;
* A 70-bed cancer hospital; and
* An energy center and support facilities.
In her role, Lima will continue to facilitate the activities of a broad team, including clinical staff and faculty, Design and Construction, Finance, Campus Planning, Community & Governmental Relations, Public Affairs and Development, as well as work with the Community Advisory Group, the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency, government and UC officials, and community members.
In her 20 years at UCSF Medical Center, Lima has served in a variety of capacities including budget director, assistant director of operations, safety officer and director of administration.
She worked in facilities planning/design and construction for seven years as both a project manager and director of project management, and served for one year as the director of Facilities Planning for Stanford Hospital and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital.
Lima holds a master's degree in business health services administration, and has completed several courses in construction and project management.
