Healing
Empow-HER-d Growing up near a large teaching hospital in Ghana, located in West Africa, Dr. Ama Brobbey had one aspiration—to help others in need. Today, as Chief Medical Officer for Intermountain Healthcare in Nevada (formerly HealthCare Partners Nevada), she gets to do just that. At the apex of medical oversight, Brobbey no longer does rounds in the hospital, but that doesn't mean she isn't touching lives. Leading Intermountain Healthcare’s team of 325 physicians in Nevada, Brobbey's authority lets her touch more patients than she ever could as a hospitalist. Under her guidance, the Nevada operation is privileged to serve many patients throughout Southern Nevada, and has consistently earned recognition for clinical excellence, especially in keeping the older Medicare patients healthy. Brobbey attributes this success to teamwork, but her skill in assembling high-quality primary and specialty medical teams has never been more evident as it has been during the COVID-19 pandemic.
