I am pleased to share that effective April 12, Dr. William Harris will be our Interim Executive Vice President, Medical Affairs.

Dr. Harris is widely respected for his vast experience and commitment to quality patient care.

In the EVP Medical role, Dr. Harris joins the Senior Leadership Council team and will work collaboratively with Dr. Zaki Ahmed on the medical leadership redesign, which is focused on streamlining leadership and integrating, where possible, planning, decision making, and overall quality of care across the organization.

Please join me in welcoming Dr. Harris to this interim role. I look forward to working with him and the entire Senior Leadership Council team moving forward. As always, I welcome feedback and questions, and can be reached at crockerelr@tbh.net
