As a seasoned operations and development executive with a reputation for disruption and change leadership, Dakon has spent his career guiding healthcare organizations through transformational periods. Dakon has a passion for solving complex problems, which he calls upon to help hospitals and health systems evaluate and optimize their positions to design and implement the most effective ambulatory surgery strategies.
