Empowering staff to deliver exceptional patient care and enabling healthcare systems to positively impact public perception, has been the focus of my career.I believe in creating environments and cultures that lead to success. When faced with a challenge, I articulate a clear vision and systematically build the underlying foundation for change, focusing on people, process and infrastructure. My management style is inclusive and transparent; I’m intentional in my efforts to interact with physicians, nurses and hospital staff; breaking down silos and building an abundance culture where teams are aligned and focused on the big picture. Twice in my career, I was tasked with turning around hospital systems that were challenged in meeting their community’s needs. I gave a voice to front-line staff who knew best how to deliver exceptional patient care, built relationships with physicians, nurses, healthcare staff and community members; and initiated large-scale construction projects to bring new services and modernize capabilities.
