I look forward to helping align the Center with the future of healthcare transformation, while continuing this tradition of excellence,” said Angelotti. “As the health care industry faces a sea change, we anticipate that Dr. Angelotti’s unique professional experiences will be a great asset to WYH,” said Dave Shippee, CEO of Whitney Young Health. “Her blend of practice experiences from the fields of primary care and behavioral health will be key ingredients in helping us reshape the organization for the next generation of health care delivery. She is attuned to our mission and is motivated to help us strengthen the health care safety net in the Capital District.” Angelotti trained at Boston University, the Medical College of Pennsylvania-Hahnemann University Medical School, and completed her residency at the Department of Community Health and Family Medicine at Shands Hospital - University of Florida in Gainesville. She is a board-certified Family Practitioner who, prior to medical school, worked in the behavioral health field. Angelotti practiced in an NCQA PCMH Level 3 recognized primary care setting for a number of years and is quite familiar with the expectations that bring to the relationship WYH establishes with its patients.
