Whitman-Walker Health is happy to share this wonderful 10-minute video interview of our COO Meghan Davies – who was interviewed in the WTOP News studios by John Wardock as part of a video series called Leadership in Action: Building Better Workplaces sponsored by Kaiser Permanente.
The conversation hinged on how to build a strong and better workplace in DC in 2026. And as Meghan answered— especially in community health — that requires clarity of mission, operational rigor, and authentic culture.
Excerpt:
“She said the pandemic really tested the now half-century year old non-profit organization. She and her team had to work fast to provide telehealth services for patients and telework access for employees. So they headed to Costco and bought laptops for everyone on a Friday and then re-opened that following Monday, ready to go with telehealth.
“COVID was scary for everybody, but in health care, it was unique,” she said. “It wasn’t like we could just close the doors, right? We couldn’t say we’ll see you in a couple of years. We’re going to figure this out. We had to be part of the solution.”
