Wanda McClain, administrative director of the Office of the President, last month was promoted to executive director of the Center for Community Health and Health Equity, which was formerly the Office for Women, Family and Community Programs.
“We need a clear vision and voice at our hospital to strengthen our collective focus and ensure we effectively address the needs of those who depend on us: our community and our neighbors,” said BWH President Gary Gottlieb, MD, MBA.
McClain will work with physician, nursing and administrative leadership to develop targeted strategies for improving care and health outcomes for diverse patient populations. She will work in collaboration with many community organizations and government agencies to identify and address barriers to access and mobilize community resources to find solutions.
McClain brings a wealth of experience to her new role. As administrative director of the Office of the President, McClain was instrumental in designing BWH’s strategy to identify disparities in health care, and she played an important role in programs such as workforce and career development. Before joining BWH, she served as director of Community Benefit Partnerships for Partners.
McClain earned her master’s degree in public administration from Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and her bachelor’s degree in accounting from Towson University in Maryland.
