Courtney Tanner, JD, MSWDartmouth Health’s senior director of government relations has been selected as a member of the 2024 fellowship class of the Carol Emmott Foundation. Courtney Tanner, JD, MSW, is the latest in a long line of women employed by Dartmouth Health to be named Carol Emmott Fellows, and is in the company of representatives of prestigious health systems like the Mayo Clinic, Yale New Haven, and Johns Hopkins in the 2024 class.
The Carol Emmott Fellowship works to accelerate gender equity in healthcare leadership by providing women leaders a platform for national visibility as well as a continuously growing network of peers, mentors, and sponsors in the industry. The program equips participants with the necessary resources and connections to lead change and foster gender and racial equity within their healthcare organizations.
“I am humbled and honored to join the ranks with my fellow Dartmouth Health Carol Emmott Fellows,” said Tanner. “There are many areas of opportunity for equity in healthcare. In my role as government relations director and as a community servant, I am eager to strengthen my healthcare executive skills to better serve. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from the 2024 cohort and mentors at the Carol Emmott Foundation.”
Tanner has been with Dartmouth Health since 2018. She earned her JD/MSW dual degree from the University of New Hampshire’s Franklin Pierce School of Law and College of Health and Human Services. Tanner holds adjunct professorships at Colby-Sawyer College and the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. She serves as board chair of Families Flourish Northeast, and board member of New Hampshire Humanities, and the American College of Healthcare Executives’ Northern New England chapter. This year, she was named to the 2023 class of the New Hampshire Union Leader’s annual Forty Under 40 list, profiling young Granite Staters making a difference.
“The Fellowship Class of 2024 is truly exceptional. These remarkable leaders have the vision and dedication to drive change in healthcare, contributing to a more equitable and inclusive industry,” said Anne McCune, CEO of the Carol Emmott Foundation. “We are excited about the size and potential of this cohort and their ability to impact the industry nationally.”
