Dr. Cioffi was appointed in July of 2025 after 29 years of service at Frederick Health Hospital, the only hospital in the county. Her expertise in both the clinical and administrative realms include experience as a bedside nurse and progressing through roles including CNO and chief administrative officer. Under her leadership, Frederick Health has beat national averages in both nursing engagement scores and lung cancer detection, earned top patient safety grades from accredited institutions for having achieved a 67% reduction in preventable complications for patients, and grown its community presence through partnerships with local organizations like Hood College, Mount St. Mary’s University, Frederick County Health Department and the Asian American Center of Frederick County. Dr. Cioffi continues to invest in innovative cancer therapies that place the health system at the forefront of leading technology, becoming the first in the state to provide intravesical gemcitabine systems, advanced robotic surgery and TTFields cancer therapy for pancreatic cancer. Dr. Cioffi also plays a vital role in closing healthcare access gaps through her collaborative work with the Partners for Accessible Care and Treatment task force, a joint initiative with local government leaders to protect uninsured and underinsured residents from the impact of federal Medicaid and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefit cuts.
