We are pleased to announce that effective 1-1-2010, Dr. Charles Saldanha, has assumed the role of Chief Medical Officer of TBH.
Dr. Charles Saldanha has been an essential physician leader in TBH over the past three years. In the summer of 2007, Charles became the Chief Psychiatrist at Contra Costa Regional Medical Center. When Charles arrived, Contra Costa Regional was facing many challenges and it was not long before Charles’s impact was felt in many positive ways by the system.
Those who know Charles well will often describe him as a understanding and compassionate leader with the type of presence that calms an acute unit and refocuses a contentious staff meeting. Charles is a dedicated doctor, a servant leader, someone who does what he asks of others and delivers what he promises.
As TBH has grown, it has become critical to increase our leadership infrastructure. In August of 2009, we took on a COO to assist the president. Effective January 1, 2010. Dr. Charles Saldanha will assume the role of Chief Medical Officer for TBH. TBH is often described as a practice without walls. Most certainly, due to the diversity of our practice locations we have become a practice in need of an innovative physician executive. The Chief Medical Officer will assume the oversight responsibility for medical staff quality across the company. Charles will take an active role in recruitment and physician selection and will focus intensively in supporting our medical directors and physicians to practice to the highest standards. Charles’ diverse practice experience combined with his supportive style make him a natural choice for Chief Medical Officer of TBH.
Over the upcoming months, we plan to gradually transition Dr. Saldanha into the role of Chief Medical Officer. He will continue at Contra Costa Medical Center, where he will be joined by Josh Niclas, MD, PhD as a Chief Psychiatrist, January 1st, 2010.
Time off will find Charles enjoying the company of his family and friends. Charles loves time out doors and enjoys hiking, running and mountain biking. An amateur gourmet, Charles loves sharing fine food and wine with good company.
