Dr. Khan says, "As an independent, community-based organization, Long Island Select Healthcare offers a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact. Its patient-centered mission and the dedication of its staff are truly inspiring, and I look forward to helping advance its continued growth and reach. My goal is to ensure that LISH Care continues to lead as a health care organization asset—especially for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and others with complex needs. By strengthening care coordination, expanding community partnerships, and focusing on whole-person, culturally responsive care, we can improve access and outcomes for the patients who rely on us most. I see tremendous opportunity to build on LISH Care's strong foundation and further engage its potential across Long Island."
