The hospital has named Alda Mizaku its new chief data and artificial intelligence officer, reports the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch.

AI has the power to improve pediatric disease detection and diagnosis, accelerate research breakthroughs, and advance health equity, says Matt MacVey, executive vice president and chief information officer at Children's National.
"Our investment in a chief data and AI role will accelerate this important transformation," MacVey says.
Before joining Children's National, Mizaku worked for 11 years at Mercy Health System in St.
