Cleveland Clinic Names New President of Marymount Hospital

Daniel Napierkowski, M.D., has been named the new president of Cleveland Clinic Marymount Hospital, beginning today.

In his most recent role, he was president of Cleveland Clinic Euclid Hospital for the past two years. Napierkowski will serve as president of both Marymount and Euclid hospitals until the search for his successor at Euclid is complete.

“Dr. Napierkowski is a well-respected leader in our Cleveland Clinic regional hospital system and in the Anesthesiology Institute,” said J. Stephen Jones, M.D., president of Cleveland Clinic Regional Hospitals and Family Health Centers. “He will build on Marymount Hospital’s strong reputation and look for opportunities to grow services, while focusing on providing safe quality care for all patients.”

Napierkowski joined Cleveland Clinic as a staff anesthesiologist in 1997. He served as chairman of Regional Practice Anesthesiology from 2010 until 2015, leading approximately 70 anesthesiologists and 100 certified registered nurse anesthetists who work in Cleveland Clinic regional hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers.

“I am committed to honoring the mission of Cleveland Clinic and the strong Catholic tradition of Marymount Hospital,” Dr. Napierkowski said. “I look forward to working closely with Marymount Hospital physicians, caregivers and the community. I am excited about the great work being done at Marymount and the potential for growth.”

A native of Pittsburgh, Dr. Napierkowski earned his medical degree from the University of Pittsburgh Medical School. His undergraduate degree in pharmacy is from Duquesne University. He completed residency training in anesthesiology at UPMC Mercy Hospital in Pittsburgh, and an internship in medicine at Western Pennsylvania Hospital.

Richard D. Parker, M.D., previously served as president of Marymount Hospital. He is now president of Cleveland Clinic Hillcrest Hospital and the East Region.

Dr. Napierkowski and his wife reside in Highland Heights. They have four adult children.

Founded in 1949 by the Sisters of St. Joseph of the Third Order of St. Francis, Marymount Hospital is a 315-bed acute care hospital located in Garfield Heights. In 1995, Marymount became the first community hospital to become a member of the Cleveland Clinic health system. In 2012, Marymount Hospital completed a major expansion project which included a three-story, 45,000-square-foot addition modernizing the facility’s main entrance and increasing the number and size of operating rooms and state-of-the-art technology.
