From 2008 until her recent return to Mount Sinai, Dr. LoPachin served as Medical Director of the North Shore-LIJ Health System, where she led successful efforts to improve quality, safety, operational performance, the revenue cycle, and case management.
Earlier, Dr. LoPachin had served at Mount Sinai as President of the Association of Attending Staff, Lead Physician Advisor and Medical Director of Case Management, Chair of the Utilization Review Committee, and member of the Executive Committee of the Medical Board.
She received her MBA with distinction in Health Service Management from the Frank G. Zarb School of Business at Hofstra University.
“I am honored to be working again with the physicians, nurses, medical staff, and administrators here at The Mount Sinai Hospital,” says Dr. LoPachin. “I look forward to closely collaborating with my colleagues and with the leadership of the Mount Sinai Health System to ensure that we deliver the highest levels of quality care. Our patients deserve nothing less.”
