“Harvard Street Neighborhood Health Center and Carney Hospital both serve the same community with many of our patients seeking specialty care at Carney. Through my appointment to Carney’s board of directors I will provide the Health Center’s perspective on how Carney Hospital can best serve our community’s healthcare needs,” said McLaren.
As a Dorchester resident for 30-plus years, Stan has a knowledge and passion for the Dorchester community. He has a strong background in nonprofits, and has worked in public health for over 15 years, where he founded a fatherhood program that continues to help men from low- to no-income families take part in their child’s life. For the past 10 years, McLaren was the director of finance and operations for an independent school located in the Grove Hall area. He also worked with a variety of Boston nonprofits as an accounting consultant. As a previous Harvard Street Neighborhood Health Center board member, he served in the roles of treasurer and then chairperson. During his tenure on the HSNHC Board, he spearheaded the turnaround of a then struggling Health Center.
Since 1863, Carney Hospital has served the city of Boston and neighboring communities. Carney Hospital has received the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for health care quality and safety and numerous other quality and safety awards, including being designated a Top Hospital for 2014, 2015 and 2017 by the Leapfrog Group.
