Special Thanks to Our Esteemed Speaker

Morgan McDonald, MD FACP FAAP

Dr. McDonald leads the Milbank Memorial Fund’s state health policy programming and leadership development, bringing together state and local executive and legislative branch leaders and connecting them with nonpartisan, evidence-based resources and experience.

Dr. McDonald began her career as a primary care physician and advocate for people experiencing homelessness and has held educational leadership positions at the University of North Carolina and then Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. She led curricula in inter-professional education, protective community factors, and the care of marginalized populations for medical school and residency programs. Board certified in internal medicine and pediatrics, Dr. McDonald has continued to see patients in Nashville’s immigrant community to maintain the roots of policy making in patient journeys.

In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. McDonald is responsible for the Milbank Memorial Fund’s state health policy leadership programs. In this role, she further develops the Fund’s health equity programming and identifies new opportunities to respond to participants’ population health needs.

“We are fortunate to have someone with Morgan’s commitment to and experience with public health join us”, said Milbank Memorial Fund President Christopher F. Koller. “Public health leaders know firsthand the importance of responding thoughtfully and systematically to the health inequities that continue to plague the United States. The leadership that Morgan brought to Tennessee will be instrumental in identifying, informing, and inspiring health policy leaders across the country as they take up the many population health challenges this country faces.”
