Laura McQuade, the president, and the CEO of Planned Parenthood in New York, has a track record of successful leadership in healthcare management. She has been on the front line to ensure reproductive and sexual health. She aims to take the health sector to a whole new level.
She is doing a great job, considering that the organization has continued to grow and expand. The Planned Parenthood of Greater New York (PPGNY) expansion was a big win for Laura. The organization was created when five affiliates of the states decided to merge.
The PPGNY was designated a budget of $110 in its first year of operation. The organization led by Laura would consist of 28 health centers, over 800 employees and take in over 200,000 patients in a year. The great merger aims to improve the health systems and provide more opportunities for other like-minded healthcare sectors to join in.
Laura McQuade has remained adamant in her mission to provide sexual and reproductive health despite the criticisms. The federal government has prohibited the use of Title X and its endowment. Also, several states are banning abortions.
Her goal is to empower, educate, and ensure women’s reproductive rights, especially in needy communities. She was once the COO of the global human rights in New York. Laura has transformed and managed numerous organizations leading them to their success.
