The Fenway Health Board of Directors announced that it has hired its Chief Operating Officer Jordina Shanks as Fenway Health’s Interim CEO when Manny Lopes steps down from the role on March 15th. Scott Walker Fenway Health Board Chair stated, “The Board has every confidence in Jordina’s ability to lead Fenway Health as the search for a permanent CEO continues & making this decision in advance of Manny’s departure ensures a seamless leadership transition. Since joining Fenway Health in 2021, Jordina has expertly overseen operations across clinical & non-clinical areas. She’s directed the implementation of a patient-centered, team-based care model at Fenway Health. She has also led efforts that have improved access to care for our patients & clients & is executing strategies to improve the financial performance of the organization.” Shanks concluded, “I’m inspired every day by the incredible skill & passion that Fenway clinicians & staff in our health centers & public health clinics bring to their work when caring for our patients & clients. I’m equally inspired by the scientists, researchers & educators who are bringing new knowledge to the fields of gender affirming care, HIV treatment & prevention & health equity. I’m incredibly honored to be called to lead & serve Fenway Health in this capacity. We have made much progress coming out of the pandemic & it’s imperative that we continue to build on that momentum as we look to the future in service to LGBTQIA+ people, BIPOC individuals, people living with HIV & other underserved communities.” The Board also announced that it has hired Liliana Silva to serve as Fenway Health’s Interim Chief Operating Officer.
