Saud Anwar is quite familiar with leading.
He’s a medical doctor, specializing in lung diseases and critical care medicine, and he chairs the Department of Internal Medicine for Manchester Memorial and Rockville General hospitals, which are part of the Eastern Connecticut Health Network (ECHN).
He’s a former mayor, having served South Windsor in that role twice, from 2013-15, and again from 2017-19.
He now serves as a state senator representing South Windsor, East Hartford, East Windsor and Ellington. He also co-chairs the legislature’s Public Health Committee.
Anwar is seeking reelection to the state Senate this year.
Earlier this year, he joined a group of lawmakers and ECHN medical staff to press for Prospect Medical Holdings, which owns the two ECHN hospitals and Waterbury Hospital, to complete the sale of the three hospitals to Yale New Haven Health. That deal is now held up by lawsuits filed on both sides over the financial terms.
Anwar has said that the three hospitals are in “a dire situation financially,” and that a delayed deal could affect the safety and wellbeing of patients.
He also has been outspoken about the development of artificial intelligence and its potential uses in health care, arguing it has the potential to revolutionize patient care.
“We are hoping that we can make Connecticut the hub for health care and artificial intelligence in the United States and beyond,” he said earlier this year, adding that the state needs to ensure it has policies in place to make that happen.
