About

Welcome! I am the health officer of the City & County of San Francisco, and director of the Population Health Division (PHD) at the Department of Public Health. Striving to embody and promote the universal values of dignity, equity, compassion and humility, I work to convene, connect and catalyze communities and institutions to transform narratives, policies and systems toward a sustainable culture of equity, healing and health for all people and our planet. As health officer, I exercise leadership and legal authority to protect and promote equity, racial equity, climate action and community health. As PHD director, I direct public health services. I also teach population health data science at the University of California, Berkeley School of Public Health and I maintain this blog with a focus on equity, leadership, lean, and data science.
