President & CEO, Community Health Center, Inc. / Weitzman Institute
Fran Silvestri leads Community Health Center, Inc. in Connecticut and its research arm, the Weitzman Institute — the only federally funded research institute embedded within an FQHC. The Weitzman Institute conducts health center-specific research on workforce, quality, telehealth, and operational models that directly benefits the broader CHC movement. Silvestri has positioned CHC Inc. as a national model for integrating research with community-based care delivery.
The Weitzman Institute produces the most rigorous, FQHC-specific research available — from workforce studies to telehealth outcomes to quality improvement methods. Silvestri's dual role means their research is immediately tested in a real health center. If you want evidence-based strategies rather than consultant opinions, Weitzman is the source.
