MC3 is excited to welcome its new administrative leader, Jenni Lane!

Jenni Lane has over twenty years of experience in health care improvement, bringing innovative concepts to practical application and measurable impact. Her expertise with grant proposal writing supports her oversight of workforce development and change management interventions across the stages of analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation, marketing, and dissemination. She specializes in evidence-based approaches, human-centered design, and adult learning principles to drive individual and systems-level change. 

In her most recent role as Assistant Director of Training and Technical Assistance at the Weitzman Institute, Jenni led the growth and expansion of Weitzman’s national presence in training and technical assistance for health care professionals and primary care practices. She conducted market analyses to identify learner and sector needs, surfacing opportunities for innovative programming, partnership building, and revenue generation.

Previously, as Senior Program Manager at the University of Michigan Adolescent Health Initiative, Jenni co-developed and scaled two evidence-based interventions that are now implemented in hundreds of health centers and systems nationally. While there, Jenni trained and coached many interdisciplinary health center teams on practice improvements and workforce development around issues such as integrated behavioral health care, adolescent-centered care and teen pregnancy prevention, among many other topics. 

She has received numerous national awards for her work incorporating innovative, positive youth development principles into the health care field, including the Partnership Award from the Institute for Patient and Family-Centered Care and the Society for Adolescent Health and Medicine’s Millar Innovation award. Jenni is a thought leader who has spent decades working within the nexus of positive youth development and health care improvement.

Jenni enjoys tackling difficult problems with creative, collaborative, and realistic solutions that connect the dots between performance indicators, patient needs, practice improvements, and access to high-quality care. She brings a servant leadership perspective to her program and personnel management, centering and nurturing individual and team strengths that optimize effective collaborations and organizational health.

Jenni will be overlapping with and then taking the helm from Anne Kramer, MC3’s longtime administrative leader, who will be retiring in the fall.
