About the Author

Patricia A. Gabow

During a 40 plus year medical career, I was an academic nephrologist, physician administrator and contributor to national health policy. As a nephrologist I was a clinician, teacher and investigator with emphasis on fluid and electrolyte balance and autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. I was Principal Investigator on the largest clinical NIH Program Project Grant in Polycystic Kidney Disease for 15 years which produced seminal observations. I have authored over 160 articles, book chapters and books.

As a physician leader I served as Director of Medical Services (Chair), Medical Director (Chief Medical Officer) and finally as the CEO of Denver Health, a large integrated public health care system. During my leadership of Denver Health, I led the transformation of a struggling public hospital system into a model integrated, high quality, fiscally stable system.

I served as Senior Adviser for Simpler Consulting North America, providing insight into the use of Lean in healthcare delivery systems. My involvement in national health policy is reflected in my appointments during my career to the Commonwealth Commission on a High Performing Health System, the federal Medicaid and CHIP Payment and Access Commission (MACPAC, 17 members), the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Board, the Lown Institute Board, the National Governors’ Association Health Advisory Committee, and the Aspen Group.

I hold a B.S. in Biology from Seton Hill University and received my M.D. from the University Of Pennsylvania School Of Medicine. I am a Professor Emerita of Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
