Director of MAPPR Wins CHS Pinnacle Award


Dr. Michael Dulin, Founder and Director of Mecklenburg Area Partnership for Primary Care Research,  has been announced as a winner of the prestigious Carolinas Health Care System Pinnacle Award.  This award is given to individuals who ­­­­­­­­“provide excellent care and service by making extraordinary contributions while living out the CHS Core Values:  Caring, Commitment, Integrity and Teamwork”. 

Dr. Dulin has held many key leadership positions since joining the team at Carolinas HealthCare System 15 years ago.  In addition to his role at MAPPR, he has served as Chair of Family Medicine, where he helped to launch the CHS Patient First initiative and oversaw Elizabeth Family Medicine’s medical home pilot implementation.    He also served as the Executive Director of the Dickson Institute where he was instrumental in the development of the Dickson Advanced Analytics Group (DA2).  He has recently been promoted to the position of Chief Clinical Officer for Analytics and Outcomes Research with the Dickson Advanced Analytics Group, where he will lead analytics functions.

Both patients and colleagues have expressed their admiration for Dr. Dulin.  “His accomplishments are many and his genuine passion for patient care and population health is very apparent,” says one co-worker.  “CHS is lucky to have Dr. Dulin as a physician, researcher, data expert, and leader.”

“At our health fairs in particular, community members would always ask to be seen by him and mentioned him on their evaluations as something/someone they appreciated the most,” says another.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Dulin!
