Dr. Anne Marie Morse is a board-certified adult neurologist with special qualifications in child neurology, as well as a fellowship-trained and board-certified sleep medicine specialist. She is the Division Chief of Child Neurology and Pediatric Sleep Medicine at Janet Weis Children’s Hospital, Geisinger (Danville, Pennsylvania). Despite her pediatric titles, Dr. Morse’s clinical practice, research, educational efforts, community outreach, advisory positions, and advocacy reach across all ages. She is an internationally recognized key opinion leader; a distinguished educator; a Press Ganey–recognized national top 10 percent clinician for exceptional patient experience; an Alpha Omega Alpha honor society member; and one of modern healthcare’s recognized “top 40 under 40.”
Dr. Morse has proudly embraced her reputation as a healthcare disruptor, recognizing the need to move away from the current model of siloed episodic transactional care to a patient-directed longitudinal model of continuous care. She is a staunch advocate for emboldening the patient voice and creating a healthcare dynamic in which medical professionals can collaborate in care delivery as healthcare partners (HCPs) with patients in their care journey and in which both HCPs and patients are able to rely on the broader healthcare ecosystem to seamlessly meet all needs along the wellness journey. To facilitate the change needed to achieve patient-desired outcomes and improved economic stewardship in healthcare, Dr. Morse focuses on all the tools available to improve communication across the healthcare ecosystem and within the community.
Leaning into EQ skill-building and taking a systems-based approach, a full ecosystem includes, prioritizes, and elevates patient and community voice and needs; acknowledges the escalating rates of burnout and cynicism in healthcare; attempts to better navigate the increasing complexity of medicine; and offers a financially feasible effort to achieve the outcomes that all involved parties value.
