Dr. McCreery leads a team of 60 employees who oversee and implement patient safety, quality and experience initiatives for seven ambulatory care locations and a specialized 20-bed inpatient cancer hospital. Originally joining Fred Hutch Cancer Center in December 2015 as director of medical staff practice, Dr. McCreery demonstrated the dual ability to address complex operational needs like enhancing practice productivity while also developing effective strategies for critical efforts such as provider recruitment. She was promoted to her current role just prior to the 2022 merger of Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, and played an important role in ensuring the continuity of patient safety and patient experience during this transition. She has been recognized for her ability to convene a wide array of staff and clinicians to implement cost reduction strategies, improve patient experience and team well-being, and continuously strengthen patient safety. She represents Fred Hutch on several national quality and clinical practice committees.
