Fenway Health Announces 10 New Board Members

Fenway Health is pleased to announce the appointment of 10 new members to its board of directors. Each brings significant leadership, relationship-building and management experience, further strengthening the board as the organization moves forward and builds new leadership.

“We’re excited about the expertise and enthusiasm these new board members bring to Fenway Health,” said Board Chair Liz Page. “Fenway’s leadership has spent the past few months listening to employees, community members, and Fenway supporters about the organization’s needs and their feedback was influential in the board selection process. With a reinvigorated board, we look forward to continuing our work to support the health and wellbeing of the LGBTQ community, people living with HIV, and all people in our neighborhoods. We’d also like to express our sincere thanks to the Board members who are finishing their service to Fenway and our community. These dedicated members have worked tirelessly over the past six months to help make the necessary changes to help move Fenway forward.”

The new board members were selected from a pool of more than 50 qualified candidates who responded to Fenway’s invitation for applicants. They are replacing members who were either at the end of their two-year term or who opted to retire early from the board. The new members will assume their duties on July 1, 2018, amid Fenway Health’s search for a new CEO following the departure of Dr. Stephen Boswell last December. Fenway Health has retained the firm Heidrick & Struggles to lead the search.

The new board comes together at a time of extraordinary change and growth at Fenway Health. In 2017, Fenway Health served 31,863 patients, an increase of seven percent over the number of patients served in 2016, demonstrating Fenway’s ability to provide high quality and comprehensive health care to the LGBTQ community and to those who live and work in our neighborhoods and beyond. Additionally, the 2018 Men’s Event and 2018 Women’s Dinner raised a record-setting $1.3 million for Fenway Health, demonstrating the community’s strong confidence in the organization’s new direction. Fenway also recently updated the Board of Directors bylaws to make them more contemporary and ensure they adhere to best practices.

“We are putting the pieces in place to move forward as we continue to provide high quality health care and education and engage in advocacy and research that matches policy with practice,” said Interim CEO Darlene Stromstad. “Most important, the newly configured board is more reflective of the communities we care for and will help lead us forward”
