In addition to the development of the integrated regional network of care, which involved multiple corporate affiliations, Dr. Streck led early efforts in business analytics and innovation in insurance design. All of which helped establish Bassett as a policy leader in New York State and nationally.

A champion for healthcare, Dr. Streck has contributed his expertise to multiple governmental, professional and policy groups, including his role as Chief Medical and Health Systems Innovation Officer for the Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS). He also previously chaired the Public Health and Health Planning Council of New York State and remains an active strategist, thinker, activist, and participant in the forces shaping healthcare in the United States.
