She will, however, remain as the medical director for the Dialysis Unit at the Commonwealth Health Center.<\/p>\n<p>Doyle, who will serve as the hospital\u2019s medical director for two years, has been with the internal medicine department for over a year now.<\/p>\n<p>According to Mu\u00f1a, Doyle is not one to say no to helping CHCC. He\u2019s covered the infectious disease department, the mental health, and the emergency department when necessary and when asked to.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank Dr. Doyle for accepting this additional role and responsibility and would like to welcome him as new member of the CHC governing body and CHCC board. We should all extend our gratitude and appreciate Dr. Osman,\u201d Mu\u00f1a said.<\/p>\n<p>Osman was instrumental in resolving many of the hospital\u2019s deficiencies that were cited by the Centers for Medical and Medicaid Services. Osman is also credited with bringing the standards of care at CHC to a much higher level.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDr. Osman also helped tremendously in the launching of the electronic health records. It is certainly difficult to participate in the administrative decision making while being the physician and even more difficult when you\u2019re caring for complex cases of patients, such as end stage renal disease and we cannot thank her enough,\u201d Mu\u00f1a said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Commonwealth Healthcare Corp. has a new medical director, Dr. John Doyle, according to CHCC&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":45,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[666,92],"class_list":["post-182379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local-news","tag-chcc","tag-commonwealth-health-center"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182379","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/45"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=182379"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182379\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=182379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=182379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
