Shared on behalf of Dr. William Harris, VP, Medical and Academic Affairs

I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Rosamaria North to the interim position of Medical Director, Emergency Department, effective March 31, 2025. Dr. North has previously served as the Medical Lead, Emergency Department Operations and is current a co-Medical Lead of Simulation. Dr. North has demonstrated exceptional leadership in clinical, operations and academic work.

The ED Medical Director is a collaborative leadership role working within a dyad model alongside the Program Administrative Director. Together, they drive high standards of care, operational excellence, and quality improvement in the ED.

The primary responsibility of the ED Medical Director is clinical quality, performance targets, operational planning, and ensuring services align with Hospital goals and evolving community/regional needs.

While having joint responsibilities with the Department Chief to ensure high standards of medical care, the Medical Director bears the primary responsibility for program specific quality targets, indicators, and performance metrics relevant to individual programs such as Pay for Results [P4R] and the Clinical Decision Unit [CDU].

Please join me in welcoming Dr. North to her new role.
