Dr. Gregory Vachon joins HMA with over ten years’ experience as Medical Director of Austin Health Center of Cook County in Chicago. There he developed a novel group-care model for diabetics incorporating components of the chronic care model including registry use to monitor quality improvements. As a Chair of the Diagnostic Services Committee for the Ambulatory and Community Health Network (ACHN) of the Cook County Bureau of Health Services (CCBHS), he provided lab contract oversight that both improved quality and saved ACHN tens of thousands of dollars per month in contract costs. He also served as the Chair of the Information Technology Committee for the Care Improvement Collaborative, a quality improvement project that developed capacity in health centers throughout the network to enhance chronic disease management. He also pursued post-graduate studies in health care economics and policy, with an emphasis on physician compensation.

Dr. Vachon is based in the HMA Chicago office.
