Now Available – Episode 30: Tess Kuenning, President and CEO of the Bi-State Primary Care Association
This month’s episode of “Inside the Corner Office” is now available!
In this episode, we sit down with Tess Kuenning, President and CEO of the Bi-State Primary Care Association. As Tess marks an incredible 30 years at the helm of the organization, we talked about her early career as a nurse—including four years spent working in Nepal—her transition into public health, and the tremendous growth Bi-State has experienced under her leadership.
We also discussed the critical challenges facing Community Health Centers in New England today, from workforce shortages to recent federal budget decisions that threaten essential services like Medicaid and SNAP. Tess offered her insight on how these changes will impact some of the most vulnerable populations in our region, and how CHCs are adapting to meet evolving community needs—including mental health and rural healthcare access.
