LANSING, MI – Sparrow is pleased to welcome Robin DeMuth, M.D., as its new Chief of Medical Staff for a two-year term. Her appointment began Jan. 1.
“My interest in being chief of staff is really about trying to improve our connections with each other, as taking care of Patients is such the team sport,” Dr. DeMuth said. “One of the things we’ve gotten into talking about at Sparrow is physician wellness and how tied wellness is in terms of people being engaged well with their Patients and being their best selves. I think that will be an important focus over the next two years.”
In her new role, Dr. DeMuth will represent and communicate the views, policies, concerns and needs of Sparrow’s approximately 1,300 Medical Staff members while working with Sparrow Leadership to ensure quality, compassionate care for all Patients. Robin DeMuth, M.D.
