The University of Vermont Medical Center Board of Trustees has added Shelburne resident and attorney Meg O’Donnell to its board of trustees. O’Donnell is active with several local organizations working to improve the health and well-being of people in the region.
O’Donnell has extensive teaching experience in health policy, including as an adjunct professor at the University of Vermont, a “bridge course” instructor for the UVM Larner College of Medicine, and a facilitator for the Snelling Center for Government’s Vermont Leadership Institute. She currently serves as president of the Howard Center Board of Trustees and is secretary of the New England Federal Credit Union board.
“I am honored to be joining the UVM Medical Center board,” O’Donnell said. “After a career in health policy, it’s been my privilege to serve on several health care boards, including the Community Health Centers of Burlington and Howard Center. I hope and trust that my background and experience will further the work of the medical center and its amazing staff as they strive to serve our community while educating the newest generation of health care providers.”
“Meg brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the board and will help lead the UVM Medical Center into the future. Her background in health care policy will serve the board well,” said Stephen Leffler, MD, president and chief operating officer of UVM Medical Center.
O’Donnell is a graduate of Oberlin College and holds a master’s degree from Columbia University and a law degree from New York Law School.
