Elevating Podiatric Care
Dr. Danielle Dubois’s first encounter with the city’s public healthcare system was during a rotation when she was a student at New York College of Podiatric Medicine. It made an impression. She worked in private podiatric practices for several years, but in 2023 she joined NYC Health + Hospitals/Gotham Health, Broadway and quickly experienced the difference.
“In private practice, the emphasis often shifts toward profitability and business efficiency and this can compromise the quality of care,” she says. “It’s upsetting to see healthcare treated as a commodity. At NYC Health + Hospitals, our mission is clear: to provide the best quality care to all patients, regardless of their financial status or background. The priority is always the health and dignity of the individuals we treat.”
At the heart of that ideal, she’s found, is the fundamental culture that makes a community health center a community itself. “By honoring diverse perspectives and backgrounds, we not only enhance patient care but also strengthen our team dynamics,” she observes. “This commitment to respect ensures that everyone feels valued and heard, ultimately leading to better outcomes for our patients and a more fulfilling work experience for all.”
One reason Dr. Dubois chose podiatry as a field is that mobility is a consequential but sometimes overlooked aspect of health. At Broadway, her colleagues admire the conscientious care she gives every patient as well as her outreach efforts to build the center’s podiatry practice and identify patients lost in follow-up. Outside her professional practice, she has worked as a medical volunteer at the New York City Marathon and the Boston Marathon.
