I’m a physician, author, and advocate with over four decades of experience in pediatric oncology, academic medicine, and nonprofit leadership. For the majority of my career, I served at Columbia University Medical Center, where I led one of the nation’s top pediatric hematology-oncology programs and mentored a generation of physician-scientists. I’m proud to have founded the Hope & Heroes Children’s Cancer Fund, which has raised over \$100 million to support children and families facing cancer. Today, I remain active as a writer and fundraiser, committed to advancing care, research, and hope for the next generation.

I'm proud to share my professional biography, a reflection of my journey through healthcare sales, medical innovation, and strategic leadership over the past 20 years. From managing multimillion-dollar portfolios to helping hospitals improve patient care, every step has been driven by a commitment to resilience and results.

In an era where digital health tools are revolutionizing patient care, the true promise of innovation lies not in replacing the human touch, but in enhancing it. As technologies like AI, remote monitoring, and real-world data analytics gain traction, they must be harnessed to amplify empathy, personalization, and trust—not to overshadow them. At QurHealth, this philosophy is realized through intelligent, voice-first platforms that support individualized care journeys while maintaining the central role of compassionate, clinician-led interaction. The future of healthcare is not about choosing between high-tech and high-touch—it’s about integrating both to foster deeper, more meaningful connections between patients and providers.
