Sue , who has extensive experience in high-level NHS roles, has taken up the position of Independent Chair of ‘Well Warrington’, the borough’s Accountable Care Partnership, which aims to bring together resources for health and for social care into one place, forging new partnerships and delivering more efficient, value-for-money services.
Originally from the USA, Sue has lived in Warrington for almost 25 years, building up life-long relationships and networks within the area. Her executive career has encompassed a number of roles focused on economic and business development, within the UK and Europe.

She has a wealth of experience developed in the NHS over the last decade, which she can now bring to a crucially important task for the benefit of the Warrington community.
