Kerrigan to lead UW Physicians Network
Meg Kerrigan has been appointed as the new executive director for the University of Washington Physicians Network (UWPN), effective Feb. 4. UWPN is also known as the UW Medicine Neighborhood Clinics.
Kerrigan has been serving as associate administrator for ambulatory and allied care services, mental health services, and rehabilitation medicine services at Harborview Medical Center. She was also responsible for coordinating the UW Medicine Spine Center at Harborview with the Puget Sound Sports and Spine Physicians. Before joining the Harborview staff 13 years ago, Kerrigan held several positions in the public and private sectors, including serving as administrator and CEO at HCA Chicago Lakeshore Hospital.
In addition to her new position at UWPN, Kerrigan will retain her responsibilities for the UW Medicine Eye Institute at Harborview. Johnese Spisso, vice president for medical affairs for the University of Washington and clinical operations officer for UW Medicine, said that Kerrigan has a wealth of expertise in primary and specialty care clinic leadership and in new program development, which prepares her well for leadership of UWPN.
