Candidate for
Board Member; Palomar Pomerado Health System

Occupation: National Healthcare Consultant

College or post-high school training:

• Master of Science Health Systems, Georgia Institute of Technology
• Bachelor of Science, Psychology, Emory University

Healthcare has become extremely complex, the Palomar Pomerado Health System will benefit from my extensive experience consulting for providers such as: Johns Hopkins Medical Center; Eisenhower Medical Center; St. John's Hospital and Health Center in Santa Monica; Hartford Medical Center; Catholic Healthcare West; The University of California Irvine; and Good Samaritan System in San Jose.

As a nationally renowned healthcare executive, consultant, and educator, I have been providing state-of-the-art strategic advice to hospitals and physicians throughout the nation for over 20 years. Recognizing my knowledge of both national and regional issues, my candidacy has been ENDORSED BY NOTABLE SAN DIEGO HEALTHCARE LEADERS such as: Dr. Nicholas Yphantides, MD, Chairman of the Palomar Pomerado Health System (PPHS) Board; Drs. P. Gregory Bohart, MD and Alan Larson, MD, also members of the PPHS Board; and Dr. Sabah Chammas, MD, President of the Psychiatric Center of San Diego.

I consider the following to be important issues facing the district:

• Delivering accessible and affordable quality care for the community.

• Developing fair, collaborative relationships between PPHS and local physicians.

• Providing the Health System with needed, unique experience from consulting with over 1000 hospitals.
