Prior to that, he was a pediatrics hospitalist at several campuses of AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, based in Atlantic City, N.J. He also worked as a pediatrics hospitalist and hospitalist medical director for the Lehigh Valley Health Network at Pottstown Memorial Medical Center in Pottstown, Pa., and at Nemours/AIDHC Pediatric Partners at Lancaster General Hospital in Lancaster, Pa., where he served as chief of hospitalist service.
