Wendy Stark is the Executive Director of Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, New York City’s leading primary health care center targeted to LGBT people, people living with HIV/AIDS, and the uninsured. She joined the staff in 1994 and rose through the ranks of the organization and was appointed Executive Director in 2007. She left to join Lutheran Family Health Centers in July 2012, where she served as Senior Vice President for Special Populations & Administration.
