Maureen E. Schafer works hard and always wants to win. Growing up an athlete, this mentality was instilled in her at a young age.
After working in many sectors, Schafer has spent the past 15 years focused on health care. Schafer played a major role in opening the Cleveland Clinic Nevada and launching the UNLV School of Medicine, serving as founding chief of staff in the launch of Las Vegas’ first four-year public allopathic medical school. Among her many achievements, donating a kidney to an anonymous 51-year-old dad in Ohio is her proudest moment.
As the president and CEO of Nevada Health & Bioscience Corporation, Schafer remains actively involved with UNLV and is currently overseeing the new Medical Education building—effectively transforming the educational and medical landscapes of Las Vegas. She established startup operations and cultivated relationships for the $150 million construction project.
Schafer is always working to aid in bringing awareness, resources, services and support to Nevada—a win for all involved.
