RADNOR — Main Line Health is strengthening its ambulatory leadership structure with two appointments designed to advance the System's growth strategy, expand patient access and support the continued evolution of care delivery across the region.
As more healthcare services move beyond traditional hospital settings, Main Line Health is strengthening its connected network to deliver the right care in the right setting and expand access to its clinical expertise.
To help lead this work, Main Line Health has promoted Lauren High, MHA, FACHE, to the newly created role of Vice President of Ambulatory and appointed Amit Mody, MHA, as Vice President of Main Line HealthCare Operations.
"The future of healthcare requires us to think differently about how and where we deliver care," said Shelly Buck, DNP, MBA, President, Ambulatory and Professional Services, Main Line Health. "We're building an ambulatory network that makes it easier for patients to access our expertise while strengthening the connection between our hospitals and outpatient services. Lauren and Amit bring the experience and leadership we need to accelerate this work, strengthen our operations and position Main Line Health for continued growth."
