David Cohen, Board Chair, Housing Works, Inc.
Maimonides Medical Center Senior Vice President David Cohen joined the Housing Works, Inc. Board, over which he now presides, in 1997. “I collaborated with Housing Works on a grant that provided assistance to people with tuberculosis. I was so impressed with the services that Housing Works provided that I was delighted when given the opportunity to join the Board.”
Cohen is a hands-on Chair. One of his recent endeavors was bringing Housing Works into the Brooklyn Health Information Exchange, a new health information organization that will allow participating clinicians to have immediate access to client health information. “I see technology save lives every day. It’s gratifying to see Housing Works in the midst of its own digital revolution,” he says, adding, “I’m so proud of all of Housing Works’ programs and services. Housing Works is one of the most ambitious AIDS organizations in the world.”
