Biography

Lou Hart, MD, hospitalist, assistant professor of pediatrics at the Yale University School of Medicine, and medical director of health equity for Yale New Haven Health is on a mission. His goal is to improve the health and care of all patients.

In his role at Yale New Haven Health, Dr. Hart leads efforts to improve the equity, quality & safety of care by highlighting and eliminating costly, unwanted and unnecessary variations in clinical operations and management.

He attended medical school at the University of California-San Diego and completed his residency training in Pediatrics at NYU. He was an inaugural Clinical Leadership Fellow in Quality & Safety at NYC Health + Hospitals and is now a Pozen-Commonwealth Fund Fellow & MBA ’25 candidate at the Yale School of Management.
