Experiences & Accomplishments
Patty Satjapot is well-recognized across the Johns Hopkins Medicine enterprise as a go-to leader who consistently sets the standard for excellence and successfully navigates diverse teams through shared journeys to achieve transformational results.

From her previous experiences at Johns Hopkins Medicine International to the Johns Hopkins Business Project Management Office, Satjapot has continuously led teams to implement groundbreaking initiatives across the enterprise. During the development of Yard 56, she transformed the change management and clinical operations efforts of the pediatrics and Gyn/Ob clinics from Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, which increased access to care for primarily Spanish-speaking patients in Baltimore. In her current role as executive director of strategic initiatives for the Office of the Dean/CEO and Office of Johns Hopkins Physicians, Satjapot provides business planning for projects that are a high priority for the enterprise. She contributes to the reputation and direction of the health system through her work with the Johns Hopkins Medicine ambulatory road map, digital strategy and precision medicine. Satjapot is instrumental in bringing visions to life through her quick decision- making, servant leadership and empathetic communication style. Satjapot continues to contribute to health care improvements not only because it is her job responsibility — she makes an active decision to take part in initiatives that reflect her passion for providing compassionate care to patients.
