Albany Med CEO’s 2-track plan for growth

Dan Pickett, the CEO of Albany Med, is steering the region's only academic health system through a dual growth strategy just seven months into his tenure. This plan involves expanding both its clinical services and its educational programs. The health system, which includes four hospitals and a medical college, aims to enhance its footprint and influence in northeastern New York. This strategic push is significant as it could set a precedent for how academic health systems balance patient care and medical education, potentially impacting healthcare delivery and training in the area.
