Access to healthcare is critical. Providers, their staff and organizations work tirelessly to care for patients. Public and private payers spend countless resources on medical care and administrative costs. And, despite these resources, health care is delivered in a system that is not provider or patient friendly, often with suboptimal outcomes. Frequently, individuals in our communities lack access to any type of care.
Researchers and policymakers have innovative, evidence-based ideas to improve the system, but it’s challenging to bring them to action in a sustainable manner.
We can do better. My small business was borne out of the desire to link policy and practice through pilot projects, programs and practical initiatives that improve access to healthcare.
Depending on your vantage point, the US health care system can be inspiring, challenging, transformative, broken, or innovative. Occasionally, it’s all of these at the same time. For me, the first word that comes to mind is fascinating.
After years working with healthcare systems on facility planning, design, and daily operations, I wanted to take my knowledge of how care is delivered and draw upon it to improve the overall system. My familiarity with the unique constraints of our healthcare system allows me to design and implement roadmaps that are realistic, and sustainable.
Throughout my career, I have partnered with health services and public health organizations, including community clinics, federally qualified health centers, public and private health systems, federal agencies, and foundations, amongst others. I am both an empathetic investigator and a systematic problem-solver. My goal is to collaborate and bring to fruition pilot projects, programs and initiatives that improve the healthcare system.
My experience spans almost twenty years including a Master’s in Healthcare Administration from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and an undergraduate degree in Gerontology from the University of Southern California. I am proud to serve on the Arlington Free Clinic’s Board of Directors and as the Arlington provider representative to the Health Systems Agency of Northern Virginia.
