Hannah Wong

Bio

Through being an ACHE member for a few years and a vice chair for AHLC for almost a year, I have seen the positive impact the WA Chapter of ACHE has on our community and have been personally grateful for the mentorship and leadership development opportunities the Chapter has given me. Upon completion of the Administrative Fellowship at MultiCare in 2023, I started my role as administrative program manager at Mary Bridge Children’s and recruitment/marketing chair for our internship and fellowship programs for the system. I also currently serve as the interim operations manager for our Infusion & Specialty Services department at Mary Bridge. As an early careerist, I am eager to learn and excited to be part of the Board of Directors and partner with the leadership team to further strengthen our WA Chapter. For fun, I like to bake, try new restaurants with my family and friends, and take short walks with my dog.
