About Michael Curry, Esq.
Michael Curry, Esq. is President & CEO of the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers (the Mass League), which represents 50 health centers, serving over one million patients out of over 300 practice sites. He was named one of the Boston Business Journal Power 50 Movement Makers of 2023 and 2022, one of Boston’s Most Influential Men of Color by GetKonnected! and one of Boston Magazine’s 150 Most Influential Bostonians in 2024 and 2023, and a Bostonian of the Year in 2021 (along with his member health centers) by The Boston Globe and Boston Magazine.
He brings over 35 years of experience and results in civil rights advocacy, health reform and health equity. He is a current, nationally elected (4-term) member of the National NAACP’s Board of Directors (2014-present), the Regional Administrator for the New England Area Conference of the NAACP, and the Immediate Past President of the Boston Branch of the NAACP (2011-2016). Attorney Curry is also an Adjunct Professor at both New England Law Boston teaching Diversity and Inclusion in the Legal Profession and Suffolk University’s Moakley Center and Sawyer School of Management teaching a health care management and policy course. He is a highly sought after commencement and keynote speaker, and his presentations include a “quantum leap” through the history of anti-Black racism in America from 1619 to 2024.

In 2022, Dr. Curry co-founded the Health Equity Compact in Massachusetts, a collective of over 80 c-suite leaders of color in health care, insurance, philanthropy, government and academia with a mission to realize bold statewide policy and institutional practice changes that center racial justice and health equity. Early wins include: filing an omnibus health equity bill with the Massachusetts Legislature; working with the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation to produce a ground-breaking report on the Cost of Inequity ($5.9 billion annually); hosting an annual Health Equity Trends Summit that draws over 1,000 leaders and advocates for a day-long discussion on solutions.
Dr. Curry earned a Bachelor of Arts from Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, and a Doctor of Jurisprudence from New England School of Law, and later graduated from the inaugural class of the Executive Leadership Council’s Pipeline to Leadership Program. He also has an honorary degree from William James college, a Doctorate in Business Administration from Curry College and Healthcare Administration from Labouré College.
