RENTON, Wash., Oct. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Providence, one of the largest health systems in the nation, announced that Hoda Asmar, MD, MBA, will serve as the organization's new chief medical officer (CMO), effective October 13, 2021. Dr. Asmar will be a key member of the clinical executive leadership team, ensuring a patient-focused approach to clinical strategy. Her role will include partnering with physicians and clinicians, supporting provider engagement and development, strategy, and operational optimization across the care continuum.

Dr. Asmar will work closely with physician leaders across Providence's acute care settings, physician enterprise, ambulatory care network and population health.

Having previously held senior leadership roles with integrated hospital systems, public health and a pharmacy management solutions company, Dr. Asmar established a substantial track record with designing and innovating clinical care delivery for large, diverse health systems,

Dr. Asmar earned her Doctor of Medicine at Saint Joseph University Medical School in Beirut, Lebanon and holds an MBA in integrative management from Michigan State University. Her compassion, business acumen and intimate knowledge of technology, data, clinical practice, quality and patient safety will be pivotal to our family of organizations.
