A Life in Shaker Gould grew up in Shaker’s Lomond neighborhood, graduated from Shaker Schools, and went to Vassar College. After Vassar, she returned to Cleveland to study medicine at Case Western Reserve University. That’s where she met her husband, Dr. Arthur Zinn, a clinical geneticist. The couple settled in the city’s Sussex neighborhood and raised a family. Their children also graduated from Shaker Schools, and Gould wouldn’t have had it any other way. “Shaker Schools gave me everything. They gave me all of the skills I needed to be successful. And 30 years later, they did the same for my kids,” she says. Gould recently celebrated her 50th Reunion at Shaker Heights High School. Gould trained as a psychiatrist. She did her residency at University Hospitals and as a clinician found herself working with many elderly patients. “That is how I first got interested in dementia and Alzheimer’s,” she says. She spent many years at UH, eventually becoming head of the geriatric psychiatry unit. After leaving UH, Gould took a position as director of the geriatric program at Connections Health Wellness Advocacy (formerly Northeast Ohio Health Services). In 2006, Gould’s longtime colleague, Elisa Poggi, invited her to join Insight, which Poggi, a social worker, had founded the same year. 40 SHAKERONLINE.COM | WINTER 2017
