Dr. Goldstein is Editor-in-Chief of Neonatology Today (NeonatologyToday.net), the Chairman of Physicians Against Drugs Shortages (PADS) (www.physiciansagainstdrugshortages.com/), and Medical Director of the National Coalition for Infant Health (NCfIH) (www.infanthealth.org).

Dr. Goldstein’s most important trait is his tireless devotion to patient access issues, and he has been a vocal advocate for “right” sizing technology. When his hospital and many others nationwide could not purchase medical devices vital to patient care, Dr. Goldstein wrote senators and members of Congress. He testified in front of a United States Senate Sub-Committee of the Judiciary regarding the practices of the Group Purchasing Organizations and the restriction of access to vital medical devices and pharmaceuticals. Dr. Goldstein’s vigilance in modifying these practices and improving patient access to medical supplies and pharmaceuticals made the front page of the New York Times and was featured on 60 minutes.
Dr. Goldstein advocates improving the physician-industry relationship as crucial in providing exceptional care. He supports transparency, dialog, and better engagement with industry to ensure that the most advanced pharmaceuticals and medical devices are developed and available for the most at-risk pediatric patients.
