Summary

I am honored to serve as Commissioner for the Dutchess County Department of Behavioral and Community Health since December 2021. For the past two decades, I have been a dedicated emergency physician and leader, educator and advocate. I have a long track record in emergency medicine with almost two decades of involvement in leadership, change management, and advocacy. My clinical and operational focus has been on education, transitions of care, and social determinants of health as they impact our patients when they are caught by our safety net systems. In our emergency departments, we have a front row seat to witness the cracks through which patients fall. I have worked within EDs, vertically within hospitals and across health care systems to promote data-driven outcomes and organizational synergy, which has provided me knowledge and experience in matters related to public health. I am thrilled to now be in a position to address system failures that lead to poor health outcomes. This role is an exciting yet humbling opportunity to comprehensively study patterns, identify issues and solve for them, to have a positive impact on the health of our entire community.
A passionate, empathetic patient advocate who never fears speaking truth to power when patient care is on the line. Strong educational background with a BA from Harvard University, MD from Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, and residency training at Mount Sinai in NYC. Proven as a leader in Emergency Medicine, including recent elections to New York ACEP's Board of Directors and ACEP's Council, with additional experience and skills in Care and Case Management, Public Speaking, and Quality Assurance.
