I’m Leslie Johnstone, the new Task Order Director for the Partnership to Advance Tribal Health (PATH) project, the successor of Anne Timmins who retired in February.
In this role, I am responsible to ensure overall communication, management and accountability for meeting all outcomes, goals and commitments of the PATH program. I have worked with Comagine Health since 2013, and I have been involved in previous Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) hospital improvement projects in addition to large innovation contracts in the nursing home setting.
In my short time with the PATH project, I have been very impressed with the professionalism of the Indian Health Service (IHS) hospital and area office staff as well as our collaborative relationship with IHS and CMS.
