BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Whittier Street Health Center, a community health center with a mission to serve as a center of excellence that provides high quality and accessible health care and social services that achieve health equity, social justice, and the economic well-being of a diverse patient population, is proud to present a Toast to Ron O’Hanley, chairman and CEO of State Street, to be held on Thursday, April 9, at the Hilton Boston Park Plaza Hotel.
This signature fundraising event honors exceptional business leaders and philanthropists whose values align with Whittier’s mission, combining heartfelt appreciation with playful humor. The gala raises critical funds to ensure that all patients – regardless of income, insurance status or background – receives high-quality medical care and social services.
A global investment leader at State Street, O’Hanley uses his business and civic leadership to build connections across the private sector, government, and nonprofit organizations in support of resilient, engaged communities across the Greater Boston region. Guided by the view that long‑term economic strength depends on not only infrastructure and innovation, but also the health and well‑being of local communities, his work supports the institutions and partnerships that help Boston thrive.
O’Hanley joined State Street in 2015 following senior leadership roles at Fidelity Investments, BNY Mellon Asset Management, and McKinsey & Company. He serves on the boards of Unum Corp., ABL Space Systems, the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, and Beth Israel Lahey Health. He also serves on several industry and not-for-profit boards, including the Institute of International Finance, the U.S.-Kuwait Business Council, the Massachusetts Competitive Partnership, Syracuse University, the Naval War College Foundation, IYRS School of Technology and Trades, The Ireland Funds, FIFA Boston 26, and WBUR.
A graduate of Syracuse University’s Maxwell School with a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science, O’Hanley earned his Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School.
“Whittier Street Health Center shows what is possible when health care is rooted in community,” said O’Hanley. “By delivering comprehensive, compassionate care and meeting people where they are, Whittier improves health outcomes and provides vital services that families and communities across Boston rely on. I am honored to support an organization with such a deep commitment to the people it serves.”
“Ron’s leadership reflects a clear understanding that lasting impact is achieved through sustained action,” said Frederica Williams, president and CEO of Whittier Street Health Center. “We are honored to recognize a leader whose work makes a meaningful difference for our communities.
