Hopkins Bayview Medical Center has appointed Richard Bennett as its new president. He will take office on July 1.

He will succeed Gregory Schaffer, who will retire June 30 after 10 years as president.

The two will work together throughout the month of June in order to ensure a smooth transition.

Bennett has been the executive vice president and chief operating officer for Bayview since 2006.

Prior to the position he currently holds, Bennett was vice president of medical affairs at Bayview and executive medical director of the Hopkins Geriatrics Center. He has worked with the University as a clinician, researcher and educator.

Recently, Bennett has worked on initiatives to improve the health in communities surrounding the center by developing medical-religious partnerships. He has also worked on diversity initiatives through the center and is currently engaged in a model program to improve the health of the surrounding community.

In his new position, he will spearhead the center's expansion following a donation of land to the center last month, valued at $3.1 million.
