Internal Medicine welcomes COO, makes a move

Roseann McAnulty has joined UBMD Internal Medicine (formerly Academic Medicine Services) as chief operating officer, effective November 4. McAnulty comes to UB from Nemours, one of the nation’s largest subspecialty group practices devoted to pediatric patient care, teaching and research. Nemours owns and operates the Alfred I. DuPont Hospital for Children and the Nemours Children’s Clinic, a single group practice with multiple locations in Wilmington and the Delaware Valley.

McAnulty received a BS in business administration from UB and a master’s in health administration from Central Michigan University.

When UBMD Internal Medicine began running out of administrative space several years ago at ECMC, it moved its practice plan’s billing operations to the Dent Tower building on Sheridan Drive in Amherst. Last year, to free up clinical space in Dent, billing moved again, to the UBMD administration building at 4511 Harlem Road, but there still was a shortage of faculty teaching space at ECMC. To create more room, this summer UBMD Internal Medicine moved its administrative staff to a newly renovated, 1,500 square foot space at 4498 Main St., at the corner of Main and Harlem, where it shares a landlord and a parking lot with UBMD’s Harlem Road site.

Tenants include Alan Saltzman, practice president and chair of the Department of Medicine; divisional managers; human resources staff; and Roseann McAnulty, chief operating officer, who joined the practice on November 4 (see above).

“We’re very happy to be here,” says Saltzman. “This space should meet our needs in the future, with room to add a few more administrative functions. And the location makes it easy to get to Dent or head down the 33 to our hospitals.”
