Mary Morrison, MD
A public-health leader who turns population data into a clearer understanding of people, communities, and the decisions that shape their lives.
Mary’s fascination with public health began at Duke University School of Medicine, where she devoted a year to studying epidemiology. Her first published research examined the epidemiology of multiple myeloma. That early interest in understanding disease across populations has remained a defining thread through an expansive career in healthcare leadership, radiology, and informatics.
Making population data useful.
As Stony Brook’s Chief Clinical Lead for New York’s Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment program (DSRIP), Mary developed its data-driven approach to population assessment and led faculty work on programs tailored to Suffolk County. DSRIP supported regional collaboration to improve care coordination, address community needs, and reduce avoidable hospital use.
Mary developed data visualizations for Suffolk Care Collaborative, the regional DSRIP network, helping teams understand community conditions and direct their work toward the populations they served.
Connecting lived conditions to outcomes.
Mary founded and led Stony Brook’s Research Data Warehouse and COVID-19 Data Commons, bringing clinical records and imaging into a shared resource for research and decision-making. Early analyses within that work identified a strong association between substandard housing and COVID-19 admissions to Stony Brook—reinforcing the importance of looking beyond the hospital to the conditions shaping people’s lives.
As founding Chair of the NIH-supported National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) Publications Committee from 2020 to 2022, she led publication governance across a national research consortium, overseeing standards for scientific merit, authorship, and attribution.
From leadership to Malachite.
Her institutional leadership has included Chief Medical Information Officer of Stony Brook Cancer Center, Clinical Professor of Radiology at Stony Brook University, and Chief Quality Officer for Community Practice Initiatives at Emory Healthcare. She has chaired three radiology departments and designed, founded, and co-led a radiology informatics residency training program.
Mary trained in medicine at Duke, abdominal and interventional radiology at Harvard, and clinical pathology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She is board-certified in diagnostic radiology and clinical informatics and publishes as Mary Saltz.
At Malachite, Mary leads data analytics and drives the interface between data and people: making population evidence understandable, connecting it to the realities of place, and helping organizations turn insight into better decisions.
