As Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Srinivas will provide clinical leadership across PHC’s medical programs. She will work closely with providers and care teams to support quality improvement, patient experience, and care coordination.
“I am honored to join Primary Health Care and support the important work happening across the organization,” said Dr. Srinivas. “Community health centers play a vital role in improving health outcomes and ensuring care is accessible to everyone.”
Dr. Srinivas officially began her role with Primary Health Care this week.
