Dr. Niti Singh Armistead, chief quality officer and chief clinical officer at ECU Health in Greenville, continues to make the right career choices.
While attending George Mason University, she switched her major from engineering to physics and pre-medicine after learning she had loans to pay for medical school. “While I appreciate the day-to-day work of being a programmer, I realized that my joy lies in working in the medical field,” she says.
After graduating from the University of Maryland School of Medicine, she specialized in anesthesiology, believing that her knowledge of physics would be useful. She switched to internal medicine. Because she found a long-term relationship. Patients will be more patient and satisfied.
She now focuses on acute care at ECU Health and still sees patients on a regular basis. She assumed the leadership role in 2018 and 2019, before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, successfully steering the health system through difficult times.
“None of us knew what we were facing,” Armistead says. “For me, it all kind of fell into place. How do you support an already underserved population? As the only health system east of Interstate 95 with an academic department, , how do we get through this to build testing infrastructure and educate the community? Those were the kinds of interventions I had to lead.”
