Chris McClellan is a managing director at the management consulting firm Huron. He joined the board in 2025 and brings experience working deeply with many health care clients.

Reason for service: “A community hospital saved my three-year old son’s life when he contracted COVID. This experience furthered my conviction that maintaining the presence of rural hospitals is non-negotiable as they are often the only feasible means of timely, life-saving care for their communities.”
