Point32Health Foundation and Corporate Citizenship update

March 16, 2023

Former Secretary of EOHHS joins Point32Health Foundation board

Point32Health Foundation welcomes Marylou Sudders, the Commonwealth’s longest-serving Secretary of Health and Human Services, to the Foundation’s Board of Directors.



During her eight-year tenure, Sudders led the state’s COVID-19 Response Command Center; co-chaired the Governor’s Interagency Council on Aging and the Interagency Council on Housing and Homelessness; and chaired the Autism Commission and the board of Massachusetts Health Connector, the state’s health insurance marketplace.

Learn more about how community input shaped the Foundation's future

As a new Foundation built on strong heritage organizations, Point32Health Foundation staff set out to learn. With the guidance and help of Health Resources in Action and Oomer Coaching and Consulting, we connected with hundreds of community members who shared their wisdom and experience through community listening sessions, key informant interviews and focus groups over the past year. Through these conversations and more, our team gained insights and perspectives to help us better understand what is important to community—from those closest to the issues. Hear more about where we’ve been and where we are now!

Join us at a webinar on Wednesday, March 29. All are welcome.
