As CEO, she fiercely advocated to increase access to care for some of Boston’s most vulnerable residents, forming partnerships with world-class institutions, including Harvard Medical School, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Partners HealthCare, to advance person-centered care.
Dr. Minter-Jordan’s journey to transform the healthcare industry continued at the CareQuest Institute for Oral Health in Charlestown, MA, where she served as President and CEO from 2020 until 2024. While there, she led a team of professional and clinical experts committed to building a future where every person can reach their full potential through excellent health. With her vision and leadership, and a strategy grounded in innovation and philanthropy, the Institute successfully launched bold ideas and solutions to create a more accessible, equitable and integrated health system.
Dr. Minter-Jordan has consistently prioritized giving back through her service on a wide range of boards and commissions, including BlueShield of California, Yawkey Foundation, Point 32 Health and The Boston Foundation. A dedicated mentor to emerging healthcare leaders, she has received numerous awards for her contributions, including Harvard Medical School’s Reede Scholar Vision Award and the Terrance Keenen Leadership Award in Health Philanthropy from Grant Makers in Health. She is also affiliated with many local and national civic organizations, including The Links, Inc., and Jack and Jill, Inc.
