In her newest roles, there is “an opportunity to focus with even greater precision on racism and its disproportionate impact on the communities we serve,” Darrell Terry Sr., president and CEO of the medical center and children’s hospital, said in a news release. 

The medical center and children’s hospital are both part of West Orange, N.J.-based RWJBarnabas Health.
