Baltimore, Md. — July 31, 2012 — The Daily Record 
has named University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) President and
 CEO Jeffrey A. Rivest among the recipients of the 2012

“Maryland’s Most
 Admired CEOs” awards. Rivest is recognized in the category for
 nonprofits with more than $10 million in annual revenue.

The Daily Record created the Most Admired CEOs award to
 recognize some of the most notably talented CEOs leading the state’s
 nonprofit, for profit and public companies. The winners were selected 
based on their demonstration of strong leadership, integrity, values,
vision, commitment to excellence, financial performance and ongoing 
commitment to their communities and diversity.

Rivest joined UMMC in October 2004, and has led the organization to
 significant growth and national recognition including being named
 hospital of the decade by The Leapfrog Group
in 2011. The University of Maryland Medical Center is a 779-bed 
teaching hospital in Baltimore and the flagship institution of the
 11-hospital University of Maryland Medical System. The hospital serves 
as a national and regional referral center for trauma, cancer care,
neurocare, cardiac care, women’s and children’s health and has one of
 the nation’s largest transplant programs.

“Our 2012 Most Admired CEOs are talented and determined individuals
 who have demonstrated a great deal of leadership and perseverance in
 their professional communities and are people to be commended for their 
accomplishments. Our recipients’ great success and commitment to
 excellence are truly an inspiration to business professionals 
statewide,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, publisher of The Daily Record.

The winners will be honored at an awards ceremony Sept. 13 at 5:30
p.m. at the Hyatt Regency in Downtown Baltimore. The winners also will
be profiled in a special magazine, to be included in the September 14th
