Jonathan,

I know that UH previously communicated to you that Tom Zenty was in the Cayman Islands chairing a board meeting of the Western Reserve Assurance Co. (WRA), a UH entity. Chairing the WRA board meetings has been one of Tom’s duties for many years. As also previously reported, Tom left Cleveland several days after he engaged a team to care for our fertility clinic patients and assess the situation.

I have confirmed that during the time that Tom was out of town, he stayed in contact with the UH team working on the fertility clinic issues and directed the team’s activities. Tom further confirmed that he remained in the Cayman Islands through the weekend at his personal expense.

Should you have further questions regarding the status of the fertility clinic matters, please contact the UH media relations department.

Thanks,
Sandy

Jonathan,

Our focus at UH is on supporting our patients, identifying the root causes of the event at our fertility clinic, and sharing our findings to help ensure standards are improved for fertility clinics across the country. I have full confidence that Tom Zenty and the University Hospitals senior leadership team are taking actions to restore our fertility clinic patients’ trust in us.
