Indianapolis, IN, June 8, 2025 - CenterLight Healthcare, an organization that operates the largest Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) in New York and the largest single-state PACE in the nation, presented “From Silos to Synergy: Building a Culture of Quality with the Medical Director” at this year’s National PACE® Association Summer Conference in Indianapolis.

Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ziad Farah, MD MBA, Senior Vice President of Quality Gilda St. Fleur, and Assistant Director of Quality Improvement Kimberly Smith, CPHQ led a dynamic session for nearly 50 Medical Directors focused on bridging the gap between clinical leadership and quality improvement.

The presentation emphasized practical strategies to build alignment, integrate quality functions, and strengthen the Medical Director’s role as a driver of organizational change. Key topics included data literacy, transparency, process improvement, and cross-functional teamwork.

The session sparked meaningful dialogue around how Medical Directors can lead beyond the clinical lane—and ended on a high note with a tour of the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.
