Lewandowski said Mauriello's impressive career and
leadership skills will build upon the innovative work of the
Wesorick Center to reignite the center's role in interprofessional
point-of-care health care transformation.
“We couldn’t ask for a more ideal candidate,”
Lewandowski said. “Dr. Mauriello’s experience as a proven thought
leader within the health care industry and as an entrepreneur aligns
well with the work of the Wesorick Center. We are eager to see her
leadership in action.”
Leanne Mauriello will begin her role as executive director of the Bonnie
Wesorick Center for Health Care Transformation on July 8.
An endowed center named for Bonnie Wesorick and housed within KCON, the Wesorick Center focuses on
current health care systems and practices related to point-of-care,
considering both the patient and caregiver. Through collaboration,
exploration and research, the center hopes to discover new ways of
approaching care that positively impact health care systems across
the country. The work of the Wesorick Center is a key way KCON is
actively engaged in the national health care conversation.
Lewandowski said Mauriello’s unique mix of experience and interests
will help the center continue to flourish.
Most recently, Mauriello led her own company, Evolve
Health Advisors, which supports health care transformation projects
globally. She had worked for nearly a decade at Corewell Health,
where she launched and led the Lifestyle Medicine department and
medical specialty, and served as vice president for research and
product development at Pro-Change Behavior Systems in Rhode Island.
She earned a doctorate in behavioral science and health psychology
from the University of Rhode Island.
Mauriello, an expert in reimagining health care
practices and systems, begins her new role on July 8. She said it
aligns with her unique passions and purpose. “It is exactly the kind
of meaningful, high-impact and transformative work that I
relish," she said. "I am excited to get started and
continue the visionary work of Bonnie Wesorick.”
