Some of Ms. Schiller’s most recent initiatives for CHOC Children’s include its reorganized master plan — CHOC has issued more than $351 million in tax-exempt bonds to fund several construction projects, including a new patient tower that is scheduled to open in March 2013.
Prior to arriving at CHOC Children’s, Ms. Schiller served as senior vice president and CFO of Comprehensive Care Corporation, a for-profit company involved in the management of freestanding healthcare facilities and in-hospital programs.
