Dr Cathcart is a Radiation Oncologist at RWJBarnabas Health.
The physicians and staff at Newark Beth Israel are truly my colleagues and I consider myself a servant leader, essentially a player-coach. I meet with my division chairs and chiefs regularly to discuss the challenges they are facing and to ensure that we are all working in alignment to reach our hospital goals and deliver the highest level of care to our patients. As the CMO, I must ensure that our physicians and our medical practices are meeting the needs of all our patients, from chronic disease management to complex advanced cutting-edge medical care.
In 2023, the primary concerns for CMOs include clinical staffing trends, financial challenges, and a nurturing environment for patients and the workforce.
