About
Health Inequity is America's Chronic Care Condition. I'm a primary care internist and geriatrician, public health professional, and commentator passionate about improving and redesigning care for underserved and vulnerable populations. I lead award winning teams. Currently, I am the executive director of both the Center for Health Solutions and the Deloitte Health Equity Institute. I’m a regular ABC News medical contributor, a Presidential Leadership Scholar, and serve on the board of directors of UnidosUS. From 2016-2020, I served as SVP and Chief Medical Officer of the American Hospital Association and President of HRET. This included developing digital tools of patient safety in ambulatory environments, multi-sectoral collaborations, and age friendly health systems. Until 2016, I was the first Chief Health Officer at the Illinois Health & Hospital Association. In this role, I spear-headed large improvement projects, including the Hospital Engagement Network (HEN), aimed at reducing readmissions and hospital-acquired conditions. I was instrumental in launching several improvement collaboratives; managed the Medical Executive Forum; led the Midwest Alliance for Patient Safety; launched a physician leadership academy, and designed and advanced a statewide high reliability initiative.
