During her tenure as CEO, she led the organization from a loss of $42 million to a profit of $32.6 million. Previously the Chief Operating Officer of Sinai, Teitelbaum oversaw the successful acquisition and integration of Holy Cross Hospital on Chicago’s southwest side.

She serves on civic, state, and national boards, including the Illinois Health and Hospital Association (2021 Chair), America’s Essential Hospitals (former Chair of Board Equity work group).

“Karen is an accomplished leader in the healthcare industry with a passion for the communities she serves. It is an honor to have her join our team,” noted Jordan Shields, Partner at Juniper Advisory. “Her track record of building the successful Sinai system in under-invested areas of Chicago is a template for safety net care in America.”

“I have known Juniper for years and have recommended them to colleagues considering transactions. I am excited to join the team and to work with organizations looking to improve access to and care for their communities,” said Teitelbaum.

“Karen has pioneered efforts at Sinai to improve social determinants of health and bridge care inequities.
