PEJ - May/June 2012

“Dr. Aneja brings a wealth of highly relevant experiences, strategic insights, practical ideas and management skills that are essential as we continue to demonstrate Joslin’s leadership on a global level. Her rich blend of clinical and business competencies will enable us to expand our capabilities as we fulfill our mission in all aspects of diabetes and diabetes prevention,” said John L. Brooks, president and CEO of Joslin.

Aneja’s responsibilities include working across all areas of Joslin to address numerous local, national, and global initiatives. She will be actively involved with Joslin’s partners and collaborators to create and deliver cost-effective and impactful diabetes solutions.

Aneja confesses to occasional longing for the hands-on part of a family doctor. “I do miss medicine.” But then she smiles and says she misses it only a little because she is able to reach so many more people this way.

“I still feel really attached to family medicine because I’m providing healthy behavior, risk reduction, and disease education.” For many people wellness is a mystery, Aneja says. They don’t know that they hold the power to help themselves and live healthier.

Giving them that power is Aneja’s passion. That’s what she sees as her role as a physician. It’s what she learned from Mother Teresa.
