“Dr. Doug Rosendale never gave up his horse ranch when he was called away to Washington, D.C., to become the chief medical information officer for Veterans Affairs more than a decade ago. He knew one day he would return to the Grand Valley.”
“Three months ago, his premonition became a reality as Rosendale became chief of staff at the Grand Junction Veterans Affairs Medical Center. He replaces Dr. Srinivas Ginjupalli in the position.”
“The chief of staff leads all clinical activities for the coverage area of the Grand Junction Veterans Affairs, which includes western Colorado, southeast Utah and parts of Wyoming.”
“About three-quarters of the 800-900 medical professionals working at Veterans Affairs report to Rosendale.”
“He previously worked with the Grand Junction VA as chief of surgery prior to moving to Washington, D.C. to become the chief medical information officer for the VA. He also held the same position for a VA and Department of Defense interagency program.”
“Later, he led health information technology and disaster preparedness committees at the White House and worked as a health IT consultant for a large professional services network.” Read the full article here.
