Gov. Maura Healey has tapped Kate Walsh, president and CEO of Boston Medical Center, to lead the state's sprawling health and human services secretariat, the largest government department in Massachusetts:

At a press briefing at Boston Medical Center, Kate Walsh, President and CEO of BMC announces the establishment of the first transgender medical program in New England at BMC.

Walsh succeeds Marylou Sudders in leading the state's largest executive office. Sudders, the longest-serving secretary of health and human services, retired earlier this month as the new administration took office. Amy Rosenthal, executive director of the consumer advocacy group Health Care For All, said,"We are confident she will continue advancing health equity, affordability and accessibility of care amidst the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges in our health care system that impact people of the commonwealth every day."

Walsh has led BMC for nearly 13 years. She previously worked as executive vice president and chief operating officer of Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and senior vice president at Massachusetts General Hospital, among other leadership roles.
