Correction:
Arthur Gravina
In
Arthur Gravina's obituary (Almanac February
18), it should have read: He was not on the
Transition Team when Penn outsourced Facilities Management
to Trammell Crow, but left Penn to work for Trammell Crow
as senior vice president of operations and operated similar
contracts at other institutions. He then went to Einstein
Health Care Network in 2001.
