Dr. Khaldun will focus on strategy to advance health equity for patients, members, providers, customers and communities, as well as on culturally competent care delivery, according to an announcement from the Woonsocket, R.I.-based company Oct. 18.

Previously, Dr. Khaldun was chief medical executive for the state of Michigan and chief deputy director for health in the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. This year, she was also named to President Joe Biden’s task force to help guide efforts to address health and social inequities related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

At Becker's 4th Annual CEO + CFO Roundtable, taking place November 2–5 in Chicago, more than 1,500 hospital and health system executives tackle decisions that determine whether organizations thrive or merely survive: protecting margins under cost pressure, choosing where to grow, renegotiating payer relationships, stabilizing the workforce and proving real ROI on technology. This is where leaders work through them together, face-to-face. Apply for complimentary registration now.
