Patricia Pistone, the senior director of external affairs, marketing, and development at UMass Memorial Health – HealthAlliance-Clinton Hospital has joined the board of trustees at Mount Wachusett Community College in Gardner.
Pistone brings experience in the region. She joined the hospital in 2021 after a 14-year career at Making Opportunity Count Inc., a Fitchburg social services nonprofit organization.

“I am honored to join MWCC’s Board of Trustees,” stated Pistone in the press release. “I have had the privilege to work with MWCC in various capacities throughout my career and have always held the college in the highest regard as both an institution for higher education as well as an anchor organization in our region. I look forward to working closely with the administration and board of trustees to continue that strong legacy into the future.”
