Allison Hare comes to us after receiving her MD from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. At Penn, Allison worked as a Clinical Informatics Fellow and led health system-wide change in telehealth delivery models, remote patient monitoring, and social needs screening, for which she was awarded a $20,000 grant.

In addition, during her extensive volunteer work, Allison has developed workshops to teach design thinking, developed an anti-racist cardiology curriculum, served as AMA delegate to national meetings, and worked at Penn’s Covid-19 Social Needs Response Team.
