Dr. Susan Weaver Named
Senior Vice President of
WakeMed Physician Practices
WakeMed is pleased to announce that Susan Weaver, MD, has been named senior vice president of WakeMed physician practices. In this role, Dr. Weaver will oversee the operations of WakeMed’s multi-specialty physician practices including WakeMed Faculty Physicians (WFP) and Wake Orthopaedics, and she will also provide oversight for our teaching programs with Wake AHEC and the University of North Carolina (UNC) School of Medicine.
Prior to this appointment, Dr. Weaver served as the executive director of Alliance Medical Ministry, a non-profit organization that provides affordable, primary medical care to working uninsured families in Wake County. Since 2005, she has held a dual role as executive director of Alliance Medical Ministry and as director of Community Access with WakeMed, both of which are geared toward improving access to care. In her new role, she will assume full-time responsibilities at WakeMed on January 18.
“Dr. Weaver has proven herself as a physician leader who is strong both administratively and clinically. She has strong ties in the community and is well respected by her peers,” said Dr. Bill Atkinson, president CEO. “Additionally, it is important that our physician leaders believe in our mission and have the ability to deliver creative solutions for complex problems. Dr. Weaver understands that these solutions often come from relationships forged within the community, and we look forward to having her as a part of our senior leadership team.”
With this transition, Mike Cinoman, MD, will return to full-time clinical practice with the WakeMed Faculty Physicians Pediatric Intensivists. Dr. Cinoman will remain available as an administrative adviser to Dr. Weaver and will also assist with special WFP projects as needed.
Please join us in welcoming Dr. Weaver and Dr. Cinoman into their new roles.
