Director, Ambulatory Strategy and Integration

Jenny Van Amburgh believes a medical system is only as strong as its weakest outpatient link. As a Clinical Professor, and formerly as the Assistant Dean of student affairs, she specializes in Systemic Continuity—the architectural integration of clinical protocols into community settings to ensure professional guidance survives the transition from the bedside to the kitchen table.

Jenny finds excellence in Longitudinal Stability. She treats "Self-Care" not as a patient preference, but as critical infrastructure engineered to bridge the gap between theoretical education and real-world adherence to prevent systemic readmission.

At Harbor Health, Jenny remediated a "failed state" of disintegrated care for high-complexity populations. By orchestrating the first-of-its-kind "Diabetes Passport" and pharmacist-led tobacco cessation frameworks, she proved that fractured community systems can be calibrated for gold-standard outcomes.

A global pioneer in Digital Pedagogy, Jenny leads international "Dialogue of Civilization" programs in Spain and Italy while authoring articles and blogs connected to self-care and learning—remediating how millions of professionals and patients navigate nonprescription therapies.
