As the medical staff leader, Dr. Moudgal will liaise between the staff of providers and hospital leadership to ensure that clinical quality and patient experiences upholds the McLaren Health Care commitment to delivering exceptional care in a safe setting. At McLaren Flint, this care includes emergency and trauma, stroke and neurology, oncology (including proton therapy), orthopedics, and cardiovascular care, in addition to its many other services.
“I am delighted to welcome Dr. Moudgal to our team at McLaren. Throughout her impressive career, she has demonstrated a commitment to excellence in quality, patient safety, medical education, and clinical practice,” said Dr. Justin Klamerus, McLaren Health Care executive vice president and chief medical officer. “We are so excited about the skills she brings to McLaren Flint’s clinical leadership and are enthused about the benefit she will bring to the Flint community.”
As a physician leader, she was instrumental in developing and expanding numerous hospital service lines, ensuring each adheres to strict guidelines for safety and quality. And as an infectious disease specialist, she led Trinity Health Livingston’s COVID-19 response, which also involved directly coordinating with local health officials to provide the greater community with clear and accurate information throughout the pandemic. For this, she earned the Bob Lyons Community Leadership Award in 2021.
