| Crain's Magazine Selects Academy President Jo Ivey Boufford, MD, as Influential Woman in Business. |
“These women represent the fabric of New York, a vibrant array of industries that make our city unique and full of opportunity,” states Jill Kaplan, Publisher of Crain’s New York Business. “What strikes me is that these women recognize the extraordinary importance of managing expectations and setting realistic goals. They have chosen paths that have provided them with self-fulfillment in whatever way they have defined it.”
Health for New York City and Beyond
-by Elizabeth Macbride
Her appointment in February as president of The New York Academy of Medicine caps Jo Ivey Boufford’s extraordinary career in health care. She is the only woman to have led the city’s Health and Hospitals Corp., and she served as a top official in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
In her previous position as dean of New York University’s Robert F. Wagner Graduate School of Public Service, she helped shape the careers of thousands. She now leads the nation’s most respected urban health center. The 160 year-old-Academy, which has a budget of $23 million, has a broad mandate that ranges from conducting groundbreaking research on HIV to holding health classes for more than 500,000 public school students.
Dr. Boufford, 62, hopes to create more of a platform for policy recommendations. “If you do something well in this city, it becomes a model for the nation and the world,” she says.
