Ms. Galbraith serves as the Rosenberg Family President of New England Baptist Hospital, part of Cambridge, Mass.-based Beth Israel Lahey Health and the premier regional provider for orthopedic surgery and the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases and disorders. She provides executive leadership for the hospital’s clinical, operational and administrative functions, ensuring safe, high-quality care alongside strong financial performance, and brings more than 30 years of healthcare leadership experience.

Under her leadership, the hospital increased first-case on-time starts from below 20% to approximately 80%, advancing efficiency, clinician engagement and the patient experience. The hospital has earned a CMS 5-star overall quality rating from 2023 to 2025, recognition as a U.S. News & World Report “Top Hospital in Massachusetts” from 2023 to 2026, and Magnet redesignation for nursing excellence in 2024.
