Today we’re having a conversation with Kelly McGrath, MD, MS, Chief Medical Officer at Clearwater Valley hospital and Clinics where he has served as a rural Family Medicine physician for 24 years.  He is also the Idaho Medical Director for Qualis Health – the Medicare Quality Improvement Organization.

“I’ve gone from being a doubting Thomas to a true believer.”

Dr. McGrath is a graduate of the University of Washington Medical School and the Ventura County Family Medicine Residency program.

Prior to his career in medicine, Dr. McGrath worked as a research chemical engineer where he developed a strong interest in process improvement and system optimization.  That previous experience continues to drive his interest in healthcare quality in his current capacity as Idaho Medical Director of Qualis Health and Chief Medical Officer at Clearwater Valley Hospital and Clinics.
