Cambridge Health Alliance appoints new board chair
Cambridge Health Alliance has named a Harvard dean to head its board of trustees.
Mary Cassesso, dean for administration and finance at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, will become chairwoman of its 19-member board of trustees. She is both the first woman and the first Somerville resident to hold the position. The health system serves Cambridge, Somerville, and towns north of Boston.
Before coming to Harvard 15 years ago, Cassesso had been assistant cabinet secretary for the Massachusetts affordable housing program, the deputy director of the Metropolitan Boston Housing Partnership, and auditor for the city of Somerville.
