Background

About Sharma E. Joseph

As an accomplished physician leader, board-certified anesthesiologist, and critical care specialist, I am privileged to be able to focus on my passion for increasing health access in communities and enabling people to achieve their full health potential. Driven by a need to make an impact and leave a mark that is reflective of my values, my 10 years of direct patient care have been focused on underserved populations with a belief that health outcomes and access to unbiased, high-quality healthcare should not be dictated by employment status, race, wealth, or zip code. MY UNIQUE PROMISE OF VALUE I am much more than a trained anesthesiologist. I am a builder of programs, a driver of innovative solutions, and a forward thinker. I am adaptable with skills and experience in collaboration, active listening, analysis, problem-solving, and decision making with the drive and accumulated experiences as a physician, educator, and creative to help an organization move into its next chapter WHAT SETS ME APART Ability to motivate and inspire others to see their potential as well as their hidden value. Skilled in building confidence, determination, self-starting, and organizational commitment. Ability to distill complex and at times overwhelming problems down to their essence and identifying points of alignment between stakeholders when proposing solutions to difficult issues. The result is improved engagement, desire to problem-solve, and organizational growth and transformation. Hardworking with high expectations of myself and others. Thirst for knowledge and increasing levels of responsibility. Thorough, always prepared, organized and detail-oriented. Very result oriented. Honesty. Empathy. Mentorship, teaching, and the cultivation of future leaders. MY LEADERSHIP PHILOSOPHY Lead with integrity, compassion, and grace while embracing challenges, change, and tough decision-making. Be a pace-setter and motivator, while simultaneously engaging in consistent learning, growing and personal development. With an assessed need for change, recognize that successful leadership requires one to align colleagues around this new direction and assure their commitment to its achievement. MY PROFESSIONAL GOALS I would like to rise to lead a health system dedicated to disrupting the status quo and that through innovative care models can demonstrate efficiency, cost effectiveness, sustainability, and health equity.
