Summary

  • As the Chief Health Officer at Cityblock Health, I lead the clinical strategy and operations for a rapidly growing company that provides innovative, personalized, and accessible care to individuals and communities with complex health and social needs. I bring over 15 years of experience as a board-certified family physician, a health policy expert, and a mentor to aspiring and practicing health professionals from diverse backgrounds.

    My mission is to transform health care delivery and outcomes for underserved populations by leveraging innovative operations, data, technology, and human-centered design. I have co-founded and directed Tour for Diversity in Medicine, a national initiative that educates and inspires future physicians, dentists, and pharmacists of color, and serve as a Health Innovators Fellow at the Aspen Institute, a prestigious program that fosters entrepreneurial and values-driven leadership in health care. I have been elected to the National Academy of Medicine, the highest honor in the field, and served as a senior executive at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, where I oversaw the largest integrated health care network in the country in the Office of Community Care and later served as Chief Medical Officer of the health system. I am passionate about advancing health equity, quality, and innovation, and empowering the next generation of health care leaders.
