She currently serves as a Trustee at Partners in Health, and as Senior Advisor to PIH’s NCD Synergies program, working to eliminate preventable deaths and suffering due to NCDs among the extremely poor and hard to reach. She is Co-Founder of the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation Global Outreach program, which trains cardiac care teams in developing countries and supports efforts to prevent rheumatic heart disease. The program is active now in Ethiopia and Tanzania. Wendy’s focus is in partnership development and advocacy. Wendy has worked in philanthropy and development for thirty years for both US based and international organizations, including consulting for the global health program of Medtronic Foundation. In her early career, she was a program officer at the Archibald Bush Foundation, a development manager at Stanford University, and development director at the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. Wendy lived in Europe for 11 years and has enjoyed extensive travel internationally. She has a BA from Harvard College, and a Masters in Music from the University of Minnesota. Wendy has served on numerous nonprofit boards. Aubrey Davis has worked at Partners In Health since 2011, beginning in Rwanda from 2011-2013, where she served as the Rwanda External Relations Coordinator. In 2013, she relocated to Boston to join the Major Gifts Team, returning to Chicago in 2016. In 2016, she spearheaded the launch of the PIH Women’s Alliance. The initiative is designed for women philanthropists who want to collectively support and advance maternal and child health in the places PIH works and around the world. Recently, Aubrey took the role of Regional Director of Development for the Central Region of the US, leading a team of five, raising funds from individuals and family foundations across 29 states. She is interested in making philanthropy more diverse and inclusive in order to better serve historically marginalized communities. Aubrey received a bachelor’s degree in communication with a minor in East Asian studies from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio and subsequently spent a year living and working in Japan with the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme. Following her time in Japan, she earned a master’s degree in international communication with a focus on international development from American University’s School of International Service. Prior to her work at PIH, Aubrey worked at the World Bank. Dr. Evan Lyon has collaborated with Partners In Health for more than 20 years, first connecting with PIH after living in Haiti in 1996-1997. He worked between Boston and Haiti for the next 13 years – through graduation from Harvard Medical School in 2003 and completing internal medicine residency in 2007. Dr. Lyon moved to Chicago in late 2010 – after working with PIH in Haiti through the first year of earthquake response. From 2011-2016, Dr. Lyon was on the faculty of the University of Chicago as a hospitalist and house call doctor – serving the greater South Side through home visits for 2 ½ years. He also served as the Chief Integrated Health Officer for Heartland Alliance Health (HAH), Chicago’s healthcare for the homeless organization. Through the first 9 months of the COVID-19 pandemic, Evan helped found and lead the Chicago Homelessness and Health Response Group for Equity (CHHRGE) with a focus on congregate living programs – homeless shelters, residential substance use treatment programs, halfway houses – and in support of people returning home after incarceration. Dr. Lyon re-joined Partners In Health as Sr. Technical Advisor on the U.S. Public Health Accompaniment Unit in November 2020. Dr. Lyon’s academic interests encompass global health, human rights scholarship and advocacy, social medicine, mental health and substance use treatment, prisoner health, and medical education.
