UMass Memorial Health Care has named a new chief philanthropy officer to lead its new fundraising division.
UMass said Thursday that Kathleen Driscoll is its new senior vice president and chief philanthropy officer, joining the Worcester-based health system from the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston, where she is the secretary for institutional advancement. She will begin working for UMass on April 6.
At the archdiocese, Driscoll led the church's first capital campaign in 17 years and began a program that raises more than $23 million a year, UMass said in announcing her appointment. She also led a school fundraising campaign that has raised more than $100 million to benefit Catholic schools in the Boston area.
Driscoll has a bachelor's degree in education from Boston College and a master's degree in education from the College of New Rochelle in New York.
Eric Dickson, UMass' president and CEO, said in a statement the health system's new philanthropy office gives UMass an opportunity to concentrate fundraising efforts on the clinical care system. UMass -- the largest employer in Central Massachusetts -- reported more than $13 million in contributions in the 2017 budget year, a number fluctuating in the last decade but peaking in 2012 at more than $18 million, according to the nonprofit's 990 tax filings compiled by ProPublica.
