Ellen Hargett Email & Phone Number | With over 30 years of health care experience I have spent most of my career at DeKalb Medical. A seasoned healthcare quality professional, I have directed a 3-hospital system Quality Institute, bridged inpatient quality improvement activities working with a physician-hospital organization; and assisted in developing systems for an Accountable Care Organization.
