Meet Dr. Mark Lewin
Seattle, WA, USA
Dr. Mark Lewin is chief in the Division of Cardiology at Seattle Children’s. He serves as a medical director on the Children’s HeartLink Board of Directors and volunteers his expertise as one of our medical volunteers.
“Children’s HeartLink has the right goals in mind. They’re not swooping in to simply operate and perform other procedures and then leave with nothing left behind.”
“Instead,” he continues, “their objective, one that I deeply believe in, and I think resonates with other volunteers and donors, is that we seek to identify and understand opportunities for improvement — whether clinical, educational or administrative.”
“We then embark upon strategic planning with the cardiac team, the hospital and sometimes, the city and the state. And then we try to attack these issues from different angles so that we leave the team and program with a meaningful and sustainable solution.”
“It takes several encounters just to develop the all-important relationship building which paves the way to shared understanding that will allow suggestions to be accepted. And in the end, we identify how best to hand off the renewed program to the hospital to continue the work independently.”
