leadership vision
Leading complex organizations in confusing situations and turbulent times requires a clear vision, flexibility and perseverance.
my story
Coming from the hospital system and government administration, it has become clear to me that we are devoting too much attention and resources to the "wrong" end of the healthcare chain - highly technical acute care.
Whereas 80% of all health care services are provided in primary care for the elderly, chronically ill or frail. These services are rarely connected, and patients are shuffled between "silos." This, along with looming staffing and resource shortages, convinced me to devote my career to integrated care and building interprofessional capacity rather than managing hospitals from a remote desk in a government agency. I owe this insight to numerous and intensive interactions with Sciana scholars and supporters, for which I am sincerely grateful.
