“The title of chief executive officer recognizes Katie’s leadership in building a strategy that ensures our organization is sustainably delivering on its mission to serve our community. Her guidance has resulted in the serving of over 400 individuals in 2019 – more than double the number served five years ago – as well as improved patient impact and operational efficiency,” said Susan Sullivan, board president of the organization. “With this strong leadership team in place, and with a clear plan charting the course for our future, we are confident that our mission will only continue to grow and respond to the needs of our community.”
