Four Owned Hospitals | Three Joint Venture Hospitals | 980 Staffed beds | System Health Plan Employed Physician Group | Accountable Care Organization | 10K+ Employees I spent many years at Summa and held numerous simultaneous leadership roles. My ascent there led to appointment as President of the Cardiovascular Institute. === Here is a snapshot of my leadership roles and selected accomplishments at Summa, with more details below === President | Cardiovascular (CV) Institute | 2013–2015Chairman | Department of CV Disease, Akron City Hospital | 2004–2015System Medical Director | CV Service Line | 2008–2015Medical Director| CV Service Line, Akron City Hospital | 2004–2008● Established JV outpatient cardiac catheterization laboratory, recognized as #1 department in patient satisfaction.● Generated 35% of system-wide operating margin and $150M+ in net revenue, resulting in a margin of $40M.● Reduced expenses by $1M+ and realized YOY reduction in implantable costs by establishing service-line specific supply-chain structure.● Improved inpatient and outpatient satisfaction scores beyond 75th percentile as reported by Press-Ganey.● Transitioned from private practice to employment model by partnering with practice leadership to negotiate and finalize a five-year employment agreement with Summa Health System.● Co-Chaired initiative for application and implementation of Centers of Medicare and Medicaid Innovations’ (CMMI) Bundled Payment for Care Initiative (Model 4).● CVSL performed 300 open heart procedures and 1600 PCIs annually.● Built Trans-Catheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) Program, completing 225+ cases in first 30-months.● Developed an ABIM accredited CV Medicine Fellowship Program; fellows produced 26 publications and presentations in 1st three years. ● Created CV research program that grew into the Skirball Laboratory for CV Cellular Therapeutics.

During my time in this role, I directed operations and drove strategic decisions to ensure quality patient care, measurable outcomes, fiscal responsibility, and revenue generation.

I originated the Chairman role in this newly created department at Akron City Hospital, Summa’s flagship and major teaching hospital of Northeast Ohio Medical University. === This role required visionary leadership as well as practical management capabilities === ● Though it was part of a large system, we had to build infrastructure, including policies and bylaws for the Medical Staff.

My promotion from Medical Director to System Medical Director broadened my role to oversight of CVSL for the entire enterprise. In both roles I managed business development, growth strategy, physician alignment and financial performance including revenue capture, profitability, volume growth, and cost avoidance. I designed and executed comprehensive strategy for multiple laboratories, cardiac rehabilitation, and other related programs.
