"Joe is a superb clinician and educator," said H. Eugene Hoyme, M.D., professor and chair of the medical school's Department of Pediatrics, chief medical officer for Sanford Children's Hospital and senior vice president for children’s services at Sanford Clinic. "We were fortunate enough to recruit Joe last fall from Oregon Health & Sciences University where he had a distinguished career as a general pediatric clinician and educator. He has held countless regional and national leadership roles in pediatrics."
