Shatterproof Appoints Susan Furtney as Chief Impact Officer

Furtney joins the organization from Health Leads, where she served as Chief Strategy Officer. Her background includes a significant tenure at SUNY Upstate University Hospital, where she directed regional expansion and integrated behavioral health services for a population of 1.8 million. At Shatterproof, she will manage a wide-ranging portfolio that encompasses public education, research, and grassroots engagement, ensuring that the nonprofit's advocacy aligns with clinical outcomes.

Shatterproof CEO Pam Jenkins noted that the newly created role is designed to synchronize the organization’s disparate impact programs under a single strategic structure. Furtney, who holds a Master of Public Health from Emory University, intends to leverage her expertise in cross-sector partnerships to reduce barriers to care and address the systemic causes of addiction. Her appointment marks a shift toward a more centralized approach as the organization scales its national operations.
