As an Orthopedic Physician Assistant and Clinical Coordinator of the Joint Replacement Center I developed and implemented a comprehensive program designed to enhance patient care while having a total joint arthroplasty.

Financially reversed the performance of the Orthopedic Department, that previously reflected and annual loss of 1.5M, and in less than one year generated a positive 3.8M. I grew the program into a Premier Site, recognized by Medicare as a " Top Performer". Ranking the joint Replacement Unit as number one in the state of Oregon and twentieth in the country. Supervised the operational aspects of the total joint program, continually advancing and refining the program to become one of the nation's Top 100 Joint Replacement Centers.
