In July, Lopes stepped into his role leading Central Massachusetts’ seventh largest health insurer and one of its largest employers, mere months before the President Donald Trump Administration began mulling over plans to cut billions in Medicaid funding. A tough position to be in as the head of an organization with about 71% of its 129,688 members enrolled in the government-run health insurer, but Lopes hasn’t skipped a beat.
Lopes came to Fallon having served for 20 years in executive healthcare leadership roles throughout the state, having most recently worked as interim CEO at Boston-based Fenway Health, a healthcare nonprofit centering the needs of the LGBTQIA+ community.
As Fallon’s CEO, Lopes led the organization as it moved its headquarters to the One Mercantile building in October, a massive lift which included the relocation of hundreds of employees. He saw the nonprofit open its sixth Summit ElderCare Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly center, located in Framingham, extending Fallon’s reach further into the MetroWest region.
A leader in the community, Lopes serves on the board of the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce, the New Commonwealth Fund in Roxbury, and the Boston-based Health Equity Compact, of which he is a founding member.
