How long have you served on the Board?  

I have served on the Board for almost two years. 

What do you like most about serving on MSHP’s Board of Managers? 

Serving on the Board is a rewarding experience, especially after being part of the team that implemented various population health initiatives within the Faculty Practice. I find it fulfilling to help shape MSHP’s population health strategic goals. I particularly value the chance to collaborate with colleagues across different specialties and community physicians to enhance patient care. It is also gratifying to see these initiatives gradually scale up and better serve our communities over time.

What do you hope to accomplish while serving on MSHP's Board of Managers? 
It is an honor to represent the East Side of Manhattan employed physicians in this role. My goal is to ensure their voices are accurately represented, and to align our efforts with the CIN’s mission and vision. In the long term, I aim to collaborate with other board members to find a balance between delivering exceptional care and enhancing financial sustainability.

What do you like most about serving on MSHP’s Board of Managers? 
What I like most about serving on MSHP's Board of Managers is the opportunity to collaborate with Dr. Arshad Rahim, extraordinary physicians and members of MSHP’s management team. Their clinical expertise and administrative contributions are commendable, and it's inspiring to be part of such a dedicated team. I am looking forward to working with all of the Board of Managers of Mount Sinai Health Partners to benefit our patients and providers and leverage our collective knowledge and passion for healthcare excellence.

What do you hope to accomplish while serving on MSHP's Board of Managers? 
As a member of MSHP's esteemed Board of Managers, my tenure represents an important phase of both clinical expertise and a fervent commitment to advancing healthcare equity, quality and provider satisfaction. Drawing from a rich background in community-based healthcare, particularly at the intersection of Primary Care and the Emergency Room, I bring a nuanced understanding of the intricate challenges confronting both providers and patients within our healthcare landscape. My hope is to lend this perspective to our collective efforts, ensuring that the strategies we develop are not only clinically sound but also resonate deeply with the diverse needs of our community and providers.

At the heart of my aspirations lies an ambition to elevate the quality of care afforded to all New Yorkers while concurrently fostering a more supportive environment for our healthcare workforce. Recognizing the complex multifaceted burdens faced by both patients and providers alike, I am dedicated to identifying and dismantling systemic barriers that impede the delivery of optimal care. Through collaborative endeavors with my esteemed colleagues on the board, I endeavor to contribute to solutions that not only streamline care delivery but also nurture a culture of professional fulfillment and resilience among our healthcare professionals.

Moreover, I am resolute in my commitment to dismantling disparities in healthcare access and outcomes, particularly among marginalized and underserved populations. By leveraging MSHP's expansive network and Clinical Integration Network (CIN), I aim to play a role in any initiatives that prioritize health and racial equity, striving towards a healthcare landscape where access to quality care is not dictated by socio-economic status or demographic characteristics. In essence, my tenure on the Board of Managers is guided by dedication to transformative change—one that transcends conventional paradigms to forge a more equitable and compassionate healthcare future for all.
