Great Barrington, Mass. — Community Health Programs (CHP) has named Mary A. Fierro as director of behavioral health for the countywide health care network. She divides her time between administrative duties and client appointments.

Fierro has worked as a faculty and adjunct faculty member at several colleges and universities, including University of Massachusetts Medical School and the Rutgers School of Social Work. She has been active in legislative issues impacting behavioral health care and has made many presentations on issues impacting mental health for people in underserved communities.
