Name: Megan Bair-Merritt, MD, MSCE
Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer
Why BMC? A few things were immediately clear to me from the first time I set foot at BMC. First, BMC was leading the country in rigorous, interdisciplinary research focused on social drivers of health, which made it an exciting place to be as a scientist earlier in my career. Second, every person across every role was committed to providing exceptional, cutting edge, holistic care to the patients we serve, and that goal united them and motivated them every day.
What do you like to do in your free-time? I love to read, travel and cook (I read cookbooks over breakfast). My husband and I are always on the look out for new shows to binge watch- we recently finished the Diplomat and are now watching Bull.
