Overview
My aim at Duke Health is to provide outstanding care to those in need within a collaborative and high-quality setting. My most significant career accomplishments include establishing the first cardiothoracic imaging service in the Mid-South for heart and lung disease patients throughout the Mississippi Delta. I hope to use my training and relationships to pursue changes in health policy that will allow health services to be more affordable and sustainable in the United States.
