“I am excited to join with Mark, the Board, the outstanding leadership team and our generous supporters to further the work of building relationships within the community and advancing the mission of the Moses/Weitzman Health System,” Dr. Welt said. “This is a pivotal time in history where individuals and corporations who believe in philanthropy will be looking to support access to health care for all, regardless of their ability to pay. I look forward to advancing the mission of MWHS and making a lasting impact on healthcare for underserved communities.”
