She has championed the deployment of innovative technology to improve patient outcomes, including a Virtual Health Center that now supports over 2,000 patients, a virtual sepsis monitoring program that prevented 1,000 deaths in 2025 through earlier detection and intervention, and a systemwide ambient generative AI tool that has significantly reduced documentation burdens for physicians and advanced practice providers.
