My programmatic work focuses on health care delivery to Women Veterans at local, regional and national levels. I run the VAPS Gynecology Specialty Service that provides direct complex gyn outpatient, inpatient and surgical care with MIGS expertise including robotics and collaborates with our primary care collegues as part of comprehensive womens' care available at the VA.
