ForHealth Consulting is spotlighting our Director of the Office of the Ombudsman, Laurie Andersen. Her office develops and implements wellness initiatives for the Massachusetts Department of Correction (DOC) staff and collaborates with the DOC in reviewing well-being programs for the incarcerated.

Laurie’s leadership style is based on the essential premise that every person is part of the ideas, the work, and the solutions. “I hope to transform each person on my team into a more dynamic leader and validate their participation in making the Office of the Ombudsman successful.”

Thank you for your leadership, Laurie!
