Douglas Ratner, MD, Renowned Physician and Author, Continues to Inspire Innovation in Healthcare
Making Waves in Healthcare with Groundbreaking Programs and Acclaimed Publications
Dr. Ratner is a retired Chairman of Medicine and Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Overlook Medical Center and Jersey City Medical Center.
With a career marked by pioneering programs and acclaimed publications, he has left an indelible mark on the medical field. His Wealth from Health™ program, recognized nationally for its innovation by prestigious organizations such as the American Essential Hospitals Association and the Hearst Foundation, has positively impacted over 4,000 patients and served as a model for healthcare delivery systems across the country. His other initiatives, including the Environmental Housecall and Telemedicine: Healthcare in Your Home programs, have further solidified his reputation as a visionary in the medical community.
In addition to his groundbreaking work in healthcare, Dr. Ratner is also a prolific author, with several award-winning publications to his name. His non-fiction work, “My Wealth from Health® Playbook”, published by Universal in April 2021, has received widespread acclaim, while his medical drama, “Marchetti’s Inferno”, published by Austin Macauley, has captivated readers with its gripping narrative. Last year’s exciting and poignant medical thriller, “In the Company of Lions,” tells the story of two grandsons of holocaust survivors, one a Chair of Medicine, the other a veteran Mossad agent, promises to be a page turner that simply cannot be put down once begun. His latest work, “The Caducean Choice”, set to be released on Amazon in June 2024, promises to be his most exciting endeavor yet.
Among his numerous accolades, he has been recognized as an Outstanding Physician Leader by the Boy Scouts of America, received the Gage Innovation Award from the American Essential Hospital, and was honored with the NJ Health Hero Award by the NJ Commissioner of Health. His commitment to excellence in healthcare has also earned him the prestigious NJ Top Doctor title by Best in NJ Magazine in 2024.
When he’s not revolutionizing healthcare or writing captivating stories, Dr. Ratner enjoys spending time with his family, golfing, and cycling with his wife Linda. His dedication to improving the lives of others, both through his medical expertise and literary talents, continues to inspire and uplift communities across the country. Accordingly, his heartfelt essay entitled, MEDICINE’S SHAMEFUL SECRET: AI HAS NO ALGORITHM FOR FEELING EMPATHY, offers extremely insightful observations after 40 years in the field of Medicine.
