The hospital executives and the physician on Monday presented internal studies that show how lack of transportation often leads to missed medical appointments, which impedes care.
The executives include Jean Meyer, RN, president and CEO of Warren, Mich.-based St. John Providence Health System; Conrad Mallett, chief administrative officer at Detroit Medical Center; Bob Riney, executive vice president and COO of Detroit-based Henry Ford Health System and chairman of the Michigan Health & Hospital Association board; and Paul Conway, chief human resources officer at Royal Oak, Mich.-based Beaumont Health.
The pediatrician is Elliott Attisha, DO. Dr. Attisha is employed by Henry Ford Health System and he is the husband of Mona Hanna-Attisha, MD, who gained recognition last year for being one of the first to identify problems with lead in the water of Flint, Mich.
