Questions & Answers

1. What are your qualifications for office? (50 Word limit)

Having practiced as an Internist for 16 years, I have precisely diagnosed and treated a plethora of ailments and have accumulated a wealth of experience in human pathophysiology. I consider myself a seasoned clinical investigator. Additionally, I serve in many diverse and highly responsible community leadership positions.

2. What plans do you have to address your top three priorities? (100 word limit)

Our county is experiencing an unprecedented financial crisis. Our county government is having to do more, with less. My background includes a sound education, beginning with my parents, in fiscal responsibility. I intend to scrutinize, line-by-line and item-by-item, the office's budget such that the fat is cut and the waste is eliminated...and such that the taxpayer is treated fairly under my administration. I intend to engage and enhance technology in the office, but not at the expense of sound clinical reasoning and judgement and certainly not by asking our already strapped taxpayers for more money.

3. In what ways will you work to improve public health in Hamilton County? (100 word limit)

As our county's chief medical officer, I intend to blend my extensive experience as a primary care physician, high level involvement in local organized medicine circles, and service as a member of the volunteer faculty at the University of Cincinnati. I intend to engage those valuable assets in collaborating with fellow law enforcement colleagues to reduce deaths by violence in our community. Additionally, given my broad community involvement and integration, I intend to serve as an accessible physician liason to all the institutions that I serve to facilitate comprehensive interlocal cooperation to improve our community's overall health and well being.
