Tempo Kenosha May 2024 Luncheon

Our featured speaker this month is Mary Ouimet, DNP, RN, and CEO of the Kenosha Community Health Center.  Mary is a results-driven, strategically focused healthcare executive who has been serving as the Chief Executive Officer at KCHC since 2020. During her tenure, she has built a talented leadership team focused on working with individuals and groups throughout Kenosha, Racine, and Walworth counties to develop a new, accessible, and affordable model of primary healthcare. This model addresses unmet needs for medical, dental, and behavioral care. She has also led efforts to brand this model of care and launched it locally at Pillar Health, which opened in the fall of 2022.

Dr. Ouimet is a transformational leader with extensive experience in redesigning care delivery. She believes that the best care is based on an understanding of the unique and diverse needs of the individuals, groups, and populations within the community being served. She has led the design and delivery of high-quality care services for over thirty-two years in large hospital systems, private practices, and most recently, in the community health center setting.

In 2023, Dr. Ouimet was awarded the David Wagner Mental Health Advocacy Award presented by Bridges Community Center and NAMI Kenosha County. She was recently named a Marquette University 2024 Alumni National Award Recipient from the College of Nursing for Professional Achievement. In 2024, she will accept a Kenosha Area Business Alliance Forward Award on behalf of KCHC and Pillar Health.

Dr. Ouimet holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from Marquette University (1986), a Master of Science Degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (1990), and a Doctor of Nursing Practice Degree in Executive Leadership from Marquette University (2015). She is also a fellow of the Johnson & Johnson/Wharton Fellows Program in Management for Nurse Executives from the University of Pennsylvania-The Wharton School (2009).
