Becker's asked C-suite executives from hospitals and health systems across the U.S. to share their team or system's biggest achievement this year.
Question: What has been your team or system's biggest achievement in 2024?
Michael Weiner, DO. Chief Medical Officer of MSU Health Care at Michigan State University (East Lansing): This year at MSU Health Care, our biggest achievement has been the impactful, organizationwide collaboration of our Diabetes Task Force-demonstrating the power of teamwork across our Big Ten academic medical center.
Driven by our quality team, this initiative has significantly improved outcomes, with reductions in hemoglobin A1c levels, increased retinal exams, and expanded foot care — surpassing national benchmarks.
In support, our neurology department created a dedicated retinal care team, while our surgical colleagues formed a specialized foot care team.
Endocrinology has taken a leadership role, with our pharmacy team supporting hemoglobin A1c goals through advanced injectable medications.
Primary care and specialty providers have leaned in, delivering long term improvements in cardiac, renal and vascular outcomes for the Mid-Michigan community we are honored to serve.
