Amy Hoey<\/h3>\n

Amy Hoey was the inaugural woman and maiden nurse to hold the position of president of Lowell General Hospital. She began her career at St. John’s Hospital (now Lowell General’s Saints Campus) as a unit secretary. She rose from nursing unit manager to CNO nursing officer and later a COO before assuming the president’s office in 2022.<\/p>\n

She has been at the forefront of advocating for women’s representation in masculinity-dominated jobs. She sees clear signs of people encouraging one another and applauding their achievements in settings traditionally characterized by less trust and little teamwork. Tufts Medicine now has five female presidents, which Miss Hoey says has created the spirit of togetherness and a common goal.<\/p>\n

Emily Young<\/h3>\n

The second executive from Tufts Medicine Systems is Emily Young. Young’s career, which started at Blue Cross, has risen through the ranks, and she credits her various female mentors for fostering safe and collaborative workplaces, enabling her to build her career.<\/p>\n

Emily is promoting a similar experience in her workplace, especially for future generations of female healthcare leaders, as she has learned from inclusive workplaces throughout her professional life.<\/p>\n

Diana Richardson<\/h3>\n

Diana Richardson is the third executive at Tufts Medicine who began her career as an ambulatory practice’s front desk officer. Her professional trajectory has taken an irregular course, culminating in her appointment as Tufts Medical Center’s COO in 2019 before she was appointed the president in 2022. She attributes her success to her colleagues female presidents.<\/p>\n

“We each bring something different to each meeting, and we all have our own lanes, but everyone is free to express herself…We tend to be direct and willing to say what is often difficult, but we also know how to cool off and focus on our vision,” Diana Richardson explained. “I’ve worked with several fantastic female coworkers and managers throughout my career, but Tufts Medicine’s network of female presidents is unique,” shared Richardson.<\/p>\n

Kelly Corbi<\/h3>\n

Kelly Corbi arrived at Tufts Medicine in 2022, practicing in public and academic healthcare, ambulatory services, specialized nursing, and managed care. Corbi admits seeing so many female executives greatly inspires her as a woman and healthcare executive.<\/p>\n

Patricia O’Brien<\/h3>\n

The most recent of the five women to join the leadership team is Patricia O’Brien. O’Brien is in charge of Tufts Medicine Care at Home. She has previously held positions where women’s voices were muted or absent. Since joining the Tufts Medicine team, Patricia has had different experiences. She explains the broad effects of having women in leadership positions on her current employer. “The number of female leaders at Tufts Medicine demonstrates our system’s inclusiveness,” O’Brien said.<\/p>\n
