She served as medical director for Briarwood Family Medicine from 1996-2008 and associate chair for clinical programs in the Department of Family Medicine from 2002-13. She helped guide the department through significant clinical transformation, including development of team-based care, population management using the ClinfoTracker registry system, and implementation of MiChart electronic health record.
She had many national and regional leadership roles, including medical director and co-project lead for the Michigan Primary Care Transformation Project, a statewide multipayer, patient-centered medical home pilot project involving more than 400 practices and 350 care managers.
In 2012, she began a part-time position with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan as a medical director with the value partnerships group, through which developed a care-management resource center for physician organizations statewide.
She also served on the executive committee of the Patient Centered Primary Care Collaborative, a Washington, D.C.,-based organization that promotes the development of team-based primary care.
She received her medical degree in 1991 from the University of Michigan, where she also completed her residency in family medicine in 1994, and a Master of Public Health degree in health management and policy in 2000.
Services will be private. A memorial gathering will take place at a later date.
