 | Dr. Paul Genecin |
Dr. Paul Genecin was reappointed as director of the Yale University Health Services (YUHS) for a five-year term, effective July 1.
In addition to heading YUHS since 1997, Genecin serves as associate clinical professor of internal medicine at the Yale School of Medicine.
In announcing Genecin's reappointment, President Richard C. Levin said: "Dr. Genecin has received strong support as a leader who understands the health and health care needs of the Yale community and who has a compelling vision for the unique role that the YUHS can play in meeting those needs. ... Those who work with Dr. Genecin applaud his skills in mentoring, facilitating and team-building, enabling all who work at the YUHS to contribute fully to its mission. He is recognized and respected in the broader University community as a talented physician and dedicated and engaged health care administrator who always 'puts health care first.'"
In recent years, under Genecin's leadership, the YUHS has successfully undergone accreditation review by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, expanded its quality improvement programs and implemented an electronic medical record system, "all the while remaining the most comprehensive and cost-effective health benefit plan offered to Yale faculty, students and staff," said Levin.
Genecin will lead the planned move of the YUHS to a new facility near the Rose Center (Dixwell-Yale Community Learning Center). "Designing a new, state-of-the-art facility has provided Dr. Genecin and his team with exciting opportunities to update and expand the care that YUHS provides," said Levin. "One of Dr. Genecin's biggest tasks during the next several years will be to continue to oversee and engage the community in realizing these opportunities through continued planning for and construction of the new building.
"We are extremely fortunate to have Dr. Genecin at the helm in this project -- and, more importantly, in promoting the health and health care of the Yale community," Levin added.
