Jill Goldman, Lisa Owens (medical director), Roy Welker, Diana Post, Heather Heiman and Michael Healey will be the physicians affiliated with the relocated practice. Drs. Pedro Sanchez and Susan Sadoughi, currently of BPP, will become members of Brigham Internal Medicine Associates (BIMA), located at BWH.
