In order to achieve this transformation, Dr. Stout provides
oversight and medical leadership for implementing the practices
and processes that will support coordinated, integrated, patient
and family-centered care along with the staff training and
team development needed to effectively deliver care in this
new model.
 Prior
to this role, Dr. Stout was Medical Director at CHA's
Revere Family Health Center, where she was instrumental
in creating a community health center that strives to provide
a patient-centered medical home to a deeply underserved community.
She helped improve access to high-quality primary and specialty
care and led a team-based approach to improved health outcomes
in this population. Dr. Stout also serves as the President
of the Medical Staff at CHA.
Dr. Stout has been invited to share her experience of developing
the patient-centered medical home neighborhood model of care
throughout the country, including in Colorado, New Jersey,
Oregon, and Pittsburgh. In addition, she has consulted with
programs as diverse as the Arizona Telemedicine Program, the
Guyana Youth Can Move the World program, and India's School
of Tropical Medicine to develop strategies to empower communities
in need.
Dr. Stout earned her medical degree at the University of
California, in Berkeley and San Francisco. During this time,
she also completed a Master's from the School of Public Health
at the University of California, Berkeley, which centered
on sustainable development of community health programs in
underserved areas. She then came to Harvard Medical School
to complete her dual residency in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics
at Brigham & Women's Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital,
and Children's Hospital. She is board certified in both specialties
and is an instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School.
In her free time, Dr. Stout volunteers as both the Founder
and Director of the Raising Peacemakers program and the Director
of the Children's Theatre Company in Boston, both of which
help to empower children to make a difference in the world.
