Summary
- I am a hematologist and blood stem cell transplant physician. I serve as the Vice President of Government Affairs because advocacy provides a way to ensure that government policy serves patients effectively and empowers physicians to provide innovative, life-saving care and clinical trials to patients in need. I am interested in the economics of cancer care. I work with employers and health plans to provide more effective cancer care to their employees. I am interested in the creation of more meaningful value-based care models that integrate adequate data complexity and patient-centricity into their constructs.
