Created and Lead the Population Health Innovations team to create a Global Health Value Based Care Transformation Plan that was accepted into the first cohort for the State Medicaid Demonstration Project. Unfortunately, a corporate buyout of the hospital radically changed the philosophy and this success was not taken advantage of. Provided Clinical Pulmonary Medicine services as the only pulmonologist to ever live in this county, and positioned it to expand its services with submission of a Lung Center plan positioning it to be a regional resource.
