Congratulations to CHIBE affiliates Erica Dixon, PhD, and Kevin B. Mahoney, MBA, on being named Metro Philadelphia Health Care Power Players in 2023.
Dr. Dixon is Project Director of Accelerate Health Equity, a city-wide initiative addressing health equity and racism and advancing the health of Black Philadelphians. When asked what her favorite thing is about working in health care, she said in the article, “The ability to make change and have a real impact on people’s health — all of the work we do is aimed at making Philly healthier and more equitable, whether through direct patient impact, supporting organizations in expanding their work, or helping shape the future of health care in Philly. We want to make an impact at a system level, but the work we do at an individual level is also very important to me.”
Mr. Mahoney is CEO of the University of Pennsylvania Health System. When asked his favorite thing is about working in health care, he said in the article: “Helping others is at the heart of a career in health care. At our academic medical center, we see the results of our work realized each day — from a revelation in the laboratory to a patient being discharged or an employee making an impact on our institution’s mission. It’s an honor to work in a field that extends hope and support and makes a difference in the lives of others.”
