Amanda McDonald is a graduate of SUNY Empire State College, with a Bachelor’s of Science in Business, Management and Economics, and is an experienced leader and administrator in the field of healthcare. She is driven by her compassion and accountability to lead by example and cultivate inclusive environments where employees, patients, and providers of all cultures feel supported and valued.

For nearly a decade, she managed four multi-specialty offices in Upstate New York, where she focused on promoting respect and engagement in the workplace, and ensuring all staff had the tools and resources they needed to provide excellent care to patients in the region. In late 2022, she changed to a different path within healthcare, moving from direct clinic management to a behind the scenes EMR (electronic medical record) project role.

In addition to her primary job functions, she has been recognized by hospital leadership for her involvement in opening and managing a COVID-19 vaccination clinic in early 2021.
