Thomas Jefferson University Hospital (TJUH) is regularly ranked as one of the best in the nation by US News and World Report. 👉 Managed an annual budget of over $2.8B in revenue, approximately 9,000 employees, 38,000 admissions, and 34,000 surgical procedures.I sponsored the development of a campus master plan to address future healthcare needs. I was a key leader in developing a business plan approved by the Board of Trustees for the new state-of-the-art ambulatory specialty care pavilion for the TJUH campus. I successfully focused on creating a workplace culture of respect and professionalism that supported individuals of all backgrounds. This resulted in the highest patient satisfaction scores and lowest staff voluntary turnover within the Jefferson Health System throughout the pandemic and the “Great Resignation.”Among my accomplishments was forming partnerships with the Sidney Kimmel Medical College of Jefferson University and the Jefferson physician practices to support, expand, and enhance medical education, research, and patient care.
