Top 25 Minority Executives in Healthcare - 2018
Dennis Pullin

Pullin took over one of New Jerseys largest not-for-profit health systems in September 2017. Previously, he was president at Baltimores MedStar Harbor Hospital. Both at MedStar and now at Virtua, Pullin seeks out opportunities to address unmet community needs, like behavioral health. While at MedStar, he oversaw the opening of an $8 million, 33,000-square-foot inpatient behavioral health center. Hes continuing that commitment in New Jersey, where Virtua recently expanded services for patients with behavioral health issues.

This allows patients to get appropriate care in their community.
