“Jeff once told me
that when he joined CIRM’s board eight years ago, he didn’t see a
role for stem cells in an HIV/AIDS treatment. Now, CIRM has committed
$40 million toward HIV/AIDS projects and two teams of researchers
from City
of Hope and UCLA are
working toward clinical trials.”
Sheehy was also invited to the White
House to commemorate World AIDs day Dec. 1.

San Francisco Business Times named Lubin as the “most admiredCEO” in the San Francisco Bay Area. The newspaper said that since
he took charge at Childrens in 2009,
“He recruited a new senior management
team, chopped away at the pediatric hospital’s operating deficit
and worked to heal relationships with the local community and
governmental and political leaders that were deeply frayed...”
On a personal note, a friend who has
long volunteered at Childrens gives him high marks as well, citing
several encounters where he exceeded the usual CEO effort.
