Harbor Health has welcomed Dr. Monera Wong as the Dorchester-based non-profit organization’s new chief medical officer. She comes to the clinic with a reputation as an experienced clinical leader with a strong commitment to improving healthcare delivery for older adults and vulnerable populations.

“Dr. Wong’s experience and success as a physician leader will contribute greatly to our work,” said Chuck Jones, president and CEO of Harbor Health. “I am grateful to have a leadership partner with her depth of experience and passion for bringing exceptional care to the most vulnerable members of our communities.”

Wong previously served as chair of Transitional Care and chief of Geriatric Medicine at Atrius Health and interim chief of Geriatric Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). While at MGH, she also was the medical director of the Geriatric Primary Care Practice.
She was appointed an assistant professor in medicine, part-time, at Harvard Medical School in 2018. 

As chief medical officer, Wong will lead Harbor’s community health centers and Elder Service Plan, a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE).

Her expertise in geriatric medicine across various care settings is timely as Harbor explores innovative ways to enhance support for frail elders in the community.

“I am looking forward to strengthening Harbor Health’s existing system of care delivery to our older generations,” said Wong. “Having the ability to connect with and see that all vulnerable populations in the communities we serve have greater access to exceptional healthcare and social supports is truly inspiring to me as well.”
