December 2011 the new, state-of-the-art University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children’s and Von Voigtlander Women’s
Hospital opened to the public, bringing with it a new era in family-centered patient care.
Please join us as Dr. Chris Dickinson and Loree Collett share the journey of “old” to “new” as UM Health System faculty
and staff prepared, moved and established the new children’s and women’s hospital. They will also discuss aspects of their
clinical outreach, and the ways in which this wonderful facility will continue to transform and drive the future of children’s
medicine and women’s pregnancy and childbirth care.
Loree Collett RN, BSN, MSBA is the Associate Hospital Director for the C.S. Mott Children’s and Von Voigtlander
Women’s Hospital. In this role, she is the lead for all Children’s and Women’s Services and provides strategic direction,
administrative and operational leadership to multiple services, functions and hospital settings. She came to the UM C.S. Mott
Children’s Hospital in 1987, beginning her pediatric nursing career in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. Her interests in
leadership lead her to the Pediatric Post Anesthesia Care Unit and Pediatric Operating Rooms where she was the Clinical
Nurse Manager. She accepted the role of interim Director of Nursing for Pediatrics, Perinatal and Psychiatry services in 2003
and joined the Children’s and Women’s replacement hospital project as an Associate Hospital Administrator in 2004. In this

Replacement Project which opened on December 4, 2012. Ms. Collett received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the

On April 5, 2012 Dr. Chris J. Dickinson was appointed as the Interim Executive Director for the University of Michigan, C.S.
Mott Children’s and Von Voigtlander Women’s Hospital. Dr. Dickinson has been deeply involved in safety and quality
initiatives throughout the entire health system since becoming an Associate Chief. In his new role Dr. Dickinson will
continue to focus on and achieve new safety and quality standards in the new C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital and Von
Voigtlander Women’s Hospital.
Dr. Dickinson attended Wayne State University in Detroit where he received a B.A. in Chemistry, and an M.D. degree in
1981. He completed his General Pediatric Residency at Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. In 1984,
