Chair, Medical Executive Committee

Today’s Minute

January 3, 2025

Colleagues:

 

It has been a privilege to serve as the President of the Medical Staff these past two years.

 

My goals at the outset of my term were to 1) provide opportunities for leadership development and 2) to increase engagement between the Medical Executive Committee (MEC), Medical Staff Services, and the institution.

 

In my final MEC Minute I would like to introduce the new MEC officers and members at large:

 

  • New Officers, 2025:
    • Ali Khan (President)
    • Housam Hegazy (Vice President)
    • William Lavelle (Secretary / Treasurer)
    • Stephen Thomas (Past President)
  • New Members-at-large, 2025:   
    • Hannah Charland, MD (Emergency Medicine, DT)
    • Parth Desai, MD (Medicine, Hospitalist, DT)
    • Mark Emerick, MD (Medicine, Hospitalist, CC)
    • Ilona Chepak, MD (Medicine, Hospitalist, DT)       

 

Drs Khan, Hegazy, Lavelle, and the Medical Staff Services office will make a great team and maintain focus improving the quality of patient care, improving patient safety, and supporting the health and wellness of our medical staff.

 

I wish you a healthy and happy 2025 and thanks for reading.
