Jeannine Taylor
Deputy General Counsel
Keck Medicine of USC
Jeannine Taylor, Keck Medicine of USC’s deputy general counsel, has been with Keck Medicine since it was established in 2009. She is responsible for providing guidance on sensitive legal matters to hospital, medical group and academic department leadership across the health system, which includes two acute care hospitals, a community hospital and more than 40 outpatient facilities.
Taylor has led the legal department through many achievements as the health system has grown and transformed into one of the mostly highly regarded academic medical systems in the nation. Taylor’s incredible organizational and leadership skills were highlighted by the legal challenges COVID-19 presented. When, due to the pandemic, patients were not always able to see their doctors in person, Taylor and her team handled the legal logistics of ensuring that every physician in the system cleared all regulatory hurdles needed to transform their clinical practice through the advance use of telemedicine.
