The Board of Directors of La Clinica del Pueblo announces the unanimous selection of Catalina Sol as the next Executive Director of the organization, said Erin Scheick President of the Board.
As La Clínica’s current Chief Program Officer, Catalina will step into her new role as Executive Director on December 1st, 2018. Following an extensive national search that resulted in many highly qualified candidates, Catalina emerged as the Board of Directors top choice due to her innovation and creativity, her expertise in the field of public health, her demonstrated leadership, and her unique vision for this next phase in La Clínica’s future.
Catalina has a long history with La Clínica and the community it serves, holding various staff and volunteer roles through La Clínica’s evolution from a volunteer-run free clinic to a federally qualified health center. She received her Master’s in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University, and is a current fellow of the Robert Wood Johnson Interdisciplinary Research Leaders program. Catalina steps into the Executive Director role with more than 25 years of public health and direct service provision with undeserved communities and Latino immigrants.
Alicia Wilson, La Clínica’s current Executive Director for the past 10 years will officially step down from the Executive Director role on November 30th. Alicia shared, «It is exciting to see Catalina step into this role as a long-time leader in public health, Latino immigrant rights, and as a strong representation of the community we serve. We feel so fortunate to have such an incredible internal candidate who can build on La Cínica’s history while leading a new and important chapter.»
Alicia and Catalina will be working together over the next two months to prepare for the transition. We are grateful for Alicia’s leadership and we are thrilled to have Catalina leading the way in this next chapter.
