Welcome from the Program Director
Thank you for your interest in the Health Care Administration, Leadership and Management Fellowship. We are proud to be one of the first programs in the country to offer this training. As a health care leader, I am passionate about providing physicians with the tools to be successful not only clinically, but also as leaders in their organizations.
Fellows in the program will appreciate the welcoming environment of our institution and will thrive under the collaborative and collegial senior leadership team at Mercy Health – St. Rita’s Medical Center. Personally, I have been able to appreciate a diverse career including private practice, employed practice, medical staff leadership and senior executive positions. I look forward to an engaged learning environment and including program fellows as part of the team.
