Dr. Jeffrey Murawsky provides medical leadership for managed Medicaid, Medicare Advantage and Marketplace health plans. But his focus is on improving the health of the community, one person at a time.
A health care executive for more than 15 years, Dr. Murawsky knows how to streamline processes and create bridges between various members of a health care team—from physicians and hospitals to health plans and pharmacies. He serves as an advocate for patients and providers, health care systems and health plans. Dr. Murawsky believes that community access to high-quality care should be one of Southern Nevada’s top priorities.
Before joining SilverSummit, Dr. Murawsky served as the CMO for Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, and Sunrise Children’s Hospital. It was during this time that he received the Nevada Chapter of American College of Physicians as the Laureate Award for his role as the incident commander at Sunrise Hospital during the Oct. 1 mass shooting, managing hospital operations that provided care to more than 250 patients during the event.
Dr. Murawsky was appointed by the governor as one of three physician members to the Board of Health, where he serves a vice chair. He is responsible for reviewing health-related regulations implemented by the Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Public and Behavioral Health, and Board of Education for Health Professions. He also provides advice to the Nevada State Legislature on proposed health-related legislation and policy oversight, helps oversee the implementation of Medicaid expansion across the state and provides guidance for relevant regulations in the Nevada Revised Statutes.
Even with all his responsibilities, Dr. Murawsky makes time to volunteer at the Southern Nevada Veterans Affairs Hospital as an internal medicine provider. It’s just another way he continues to contribute to the community to make Las Vegas and Nevada stronger.
