Dr. Cassidy leads the strategic vision, operations and clinical integration of pharmacy services at Montefiore Einstein, overseeing inpatient and outpatient pharmacy functions with a strong emphasis on advancing ambulatory care and specialty pharmacy as drivers of future growth. She directs systemwide operations alongside site leadership and pharmacy directors, standardizing policies, procedures and workflows across hospitals, clinics and outpatient settings while expanding access by developing and scaling on-site pharmacies under a unified pharmacy identity. Dr. Cassidy redesigned the pharmacy organizational structure, establishing systemwide functions including a dedicated pharmacy IT division, a pharmacy finance arm and a medication safety and compliance function. Under her leadership, Montefiore’s 17,000-square-foot specialty pharmacy supports operations including recently launched daytime and evening delivery of medications to patients’ homes and workplaces across the tristate area. She has expanded “meds-to-beds” programs so patients are discharged with medications in hand, enhanced adherence efforts using teach-back techniques and introduced simplified packaging for patients with complex regimens. Dr. Cassidy also implemented collaborative drug therapy management and 24/7 pharmacist availability and has embedded pharmacists into new care settings, including the emergency department. She serves a five-year term as one of nine members of the New York State Board of Pharmacy.
