About

As Chief Medical Officer for HCA Healthcare Women’s Services, I have the privilege of helping shape clinical strategy for one of the nation’s largest women’s health programs, supporting nearly 190 hospitals, more than 110 delivery facilities, and over 210,000 births each year. Over the past several years, I have learned that lasting improvement doesn’t come from isolated projects—it comes from building systems. The greatest opportunities to improve care exist when physician leadership, nursing, operations, quality, technology, and data work together toward the same goals. Throughout my career, I’ve been drawn to challenges at the intersection of clinical medicine and healthcare operations. Whether developing enterprise standards, strengthening physician governance, improving maternal safety, modernizing documentation, or preparing for new models of care and payment, my focus is creating practical solutions that improve outcomes at scale. Ultimately, my goal is to help build health systems that consistently deliver safe, evidence-based, high-quality care for every woman they serve.
