Director
With over 20 years of experience in family medicine and urgent care, I am the Chief Medical Officer at Doctors Care of SC (now Novant Health Urgent Cares), a network of over 50 urgent care centers across the state. I have an Executive MBA from the Darla Moore School of Business, and I am passionate about healthcare management, quality improvement, and patient satisfaction. I oversee the clinical and administrative operations of the organization, ensuring compliance, efficiency, and excellence in delivering accessible and affordable care to our communities. I also lead the development and implementation of strategic initiatives, such as expanding telehealth services, enhancing patient engagement, and strengthening partnerships with local health systems. I have a proven track record of improving clinical outcomes, reducing costs, and increasing revenue, thanks to my skills in data analysis, problem-solving, and communication. As urgent care is often the gateway to healthcare system, I am dedicated to supporting urgent care clinicians with education, advocacy, and best practices, enhancing the operational efficiency pf urgent care clinics through the implementation of technology-driven solutions, and ensuring high-quality, accessible care is available to all patients.
Because I am committed to advancing the practice of urgent care medicine by promoting innovation, operational excellence, and leadership development I would love to lend my talents, skills, and experience to the UCA board to continue the same initiatives on a national level.
