From quality to operations: Discover Shivani’s career journey in labs

At Northwell, our clinical laboratory team members use state-of-the-art technology to deliver accurate information that helps inform healthcare decisions for our patients.

One of our Truly Ambitious senior managers of clinical laboratory operations, Shivani Dobhal, began her career journey with us in 2021 as a manager of clinical laboratory quality at North Shore University Hospital (NSUH). In this role, she led quality initiatives, focusing on New York State regulatory readiness, process improvements and ensuring adherence to the highest standard of laboratory practice. This position provided her with a strong foundation in NSUH’s laboratory systems and frameworks, which led her to transition into a clinical laboratory operations role in 2023.

Working in the operations space, Shivani took on broader responsibilities, managing daily workflow, staffing and core lab functions. She enhanced her leadership skills, staying focused and flexible and increased lab efficiency, contributing positively to team development and patient care outcomes.

Shivani’s expanded leadership scope and commitment to driving operational excellence led her to her current role as a senior manager of clinical laboratory operations at NSUH. Today, she is responsible for the clinical, technical, administrative, regulatory and financial management of core laboratory operations. Now overseeing the day-to-day operations of a high-volume, high-complexity lab,  Shivani also ensures operational excellence, regulatory compliance and the delivery of accurate, timely results that directly impact patient care.

Shivani believes that Northwell invested in her professionally by providing a clear path for her career advancement. “Northwell has equipped me with tools, resources and development opportunities from the start. I know that my growth matters to this organization just as much as it matters to me,” said Shivani. In August 2025, she participated in the McKinsey Connected Leaders Management Accelerator Program. This advanced course for high-potential managers and leaders, provides them with information and training to confidently lead and drive significant, positive change within their organization. The experience sharpened Shivani’s strategic thinking, leadership skills and encouraged her to work toward driving meaningful change in health care.

Shivani credits Northwell for fostering a culture of mentorship and collaboration. Her managers and fellow laboratory professionals build her up, giving her the confidence and support she needs to take on increasingly complex challenges in her constant pursuit of excellence.

Shivani loves that she leads in a role where her laboratory team’s work directly impacts patients, from diagnosis to treatment. “At Northwell, knowing that my team’s precision and dedication make a real difference in the lives of patients is incredibly fulfilling.”

Discover Tyler’s career journey in facilities and support services at Northwell Health

Throughout his time at Northwell, Tyler Gillespie honed his skills to advance his career, received tuition reimbursement, and had mentors guide him, all of which have been instrumental to his professional growth. Learn more about Tyler, who has grown his career and today serves as vice president of capital projects administration at Northwell Health.

Tyler began his career with Northwell in 2004 as a perioperative assistant in the operating room at Glen Cove Hospital. There, he garnered experience in environmental services and patient transport duties while also taking on a part-time contracting position at night. After leaving in 2008 to further explore his passion in general contracting, Tyler found an opportunity to return to Northwell in 2010, leveraging his construction experience as a project coordinator in North Shore University Hospital’s (NSUH) engineering department. In this role, Tyler organized and managed project documentation, schedules and resources. He also tracked results and ensured projects ran smoothly.

This led Tyler to his next position in 2011 as a project manager at the same location, where he was responsible for the complete lifecycle of engineering projects. He also managed risks, delivered engineering solutions on time and within budget, and served as the primary point of contact. Two years later, Tyler grew in his role as a manager of design and construction at NSUH before beginning working as an assistant director of engineering in 2015. In this position, Tyler provided daily operational oversight and maintenance of critical infrastructure, ensuring a safe, functional, and compliant environment. In addition, he supervised staff and managed departmental resources. During this time, Tyler also leveraged Northwell’s tuition reimbursement program and earned his MBA in healthcare administration.

Tyler leveraged his skill set to help advance Northwell’s mission of providing high-quality care to patients and team members. “If what I do [at Northwell] makes the experience better and easier for our patients, as well as our team members, that is what is most rewarding to me,” shared Tyler.

In 2016, Tyler was promoted to director of capital projects at NSUH. He later took a position to gain more experience in managing large-scale capital construction projects along the East Coast and returned to Northwell again in 2021 as a vice president of design and construction, where he oversaw and directed strategic design, construction and renovation initiatives. Additionally, he managed capital budgets and led internal teams and external contractors.

Today, Tyler is the vice president of capital projects administration, where he also ensures the timely delivery of high-quality, compliant and cost-effective facilities that support Northwell’s growth and mission to provide the best patient care and experience.

“I love that I’ve been a part of helping to create some amazing teams and environments within Northwell. Northwell encourages entrepreneurship and outside-the-box solutions for the spaces we build and maintain, from in-house carpentry and cabinetry to artwork/design of spaces in our facilities,” said Tyler. “We can impact new builds and enhance our current facilities.”

Tyler appreciates that Northwell invested in his career growth and created pathways for professional advancement and hopes to do the same for his own team. He added, “Northwell gives you the ability to make your career what you want it to be.”
