2021 Power 50: Steve Kerrigan
Steve Kerrigan
More Information
Steve Kerrigan’s career has taken him to some of the highest levels in the Democratic Party, having run both of President Barack Obama’s inaugurations and as the CEO of the Democratic National Convention in 2012.
But it was when Kerrigan, who was born in Worcester, returned home he met a new duty at the most critical of times. He took over at Kennedy less than a year before the facility, just like so many others working with high-risk populations, faced what could be its toughest challenge yet: the coronavirus pandemic.
At the helm of the $35-million facility with 28,000 patients, Kerrigan provided clear leadership and ensured those vulnerable people with nowhere else to access health care had a place to go.
What do you think the future holds for Central Mass.? “As our economy grows, bolstered by investments in infrastructure, our schools and more affordable housing, and transportation, we will solidify our true identity as an economic engine as well as a great place to live.”
A different path: “After college, I was going to join the Xaverian Brothers from Saint John’s High School, and I was going to take the name Brother Aloysius. I still am proud of the relationship I have with the brothers, with Saint John’s, and with the social justice missions they inspire, but I am also proud to be my husband’s husband. Chalk that up as the road not traveled.”
