About Lisa:

Lisa is a national expert with over 30 years of experience leading large healthcare organizations through transformational change to enhance health service delivery for our local and regional communities. She previously served as President, UW Medicine Hospitals and Clinics, responsible for an approximately $4 billion health system that includes Harborview Medical Center, the University of Washington Medical Center-Montlake and Northwest campuses, Valley Medical Center, UW Neighborhood Clinics and Airlift Northwest, as well as the health system’s strategy, finance, HR and IT departments.

“I work to make the medical systems and processes simpler and easier for patients and for our staff. What drives me each day is my desire for improvement. I have seen what happens when we in the medical field pull together as a system of innovators and ask, ‘how can we do better?’ That outlook can be applied to every facet of our society and I see McKinstry striving to do the same for our communities and our planet. The potential is incredible.”
