The Department of Health Policy and Management welcomes Lou Shapiro (MHA ’85), president and CEO of Hospital for Special Surgery, as this year's executive in residence.
Shapiro oversees all strategic and operational aspects of HSS as well as the fulfillment of its mission—to advance the field of musculoskeletal medicine through world-class patient care, research, and education.
Under Shapiro’s leadership, HSS has experienced significant growth, expansion of facilities, and recognition as the world leader in the areas of orthopedics, rheumatology, and related disciplines. Shapiro has more than 30 years of health care experience, including his role as executive vice president and chief operating officer of Geisinger Health System in Pennsylvania, and as a leader in the health care practice at McKinsey & Company. He began his career at Allegheny General Hospital, where he served in many capacities.
“I am indebted to the University of Pittsburgh, Pitt Public Health, and all my mentors from the very beginning of my career,” Shapiro says. “I am looking forward to working to ‘pay it forward.’”
