Vincent Chiang

After earning his MD from University of Massachusetts Medical School, Dr. Vincent Chiang began his medical career as an Intern in Pediatrics at Boston Children’s Hospital in 1992.

Since then, he has served as Boston Children’s Chief of CHIPS (Children's Hospital Inpatient Service), Chief of Inpatient Services for the Department of Medicine, and Associate Program Director of the Boston Combined Residency Program. In 2011, he was elected to serve as Secretary-Treasurer for the Physician's Organization and in 2012, he was appointed vice-chair of Finance in the Department of Medicine.

Named Special Advisor to the Executive Vice President of Health Affairs in 2016, Dr. Chiang provided instrumental vision and leadership around Boston Children’s patient family experience, including the most ambitious campus redesign in the hospital’s history, and the expansion of Boston Children's at Waltham into a fully functional inpatient hospital — all while working to enhance communications among operational and physician leadership.

Taking on the role of Chief Medical Officer for Operations in 2018, Dr. Chiang expanded his focus to the growing demands in Boston Children’s clinical areas including the enhancement of patient care programs, opening the Hale Clinical Building and managing capacity constraints through the COVID pandemic and beyond. Since becoming Senior Vice President and Chief Medical Officer in 2020, he has skillfully led a wide range of clinical and administrative initiatives that span the breadth of Health Affairs and inpatient medical governance, including management of patient flow and capacity across our Longwood campus. During the height of the COVID pandemic, Dr. Chiang became one of Boston Children’s most trusted voices.

Now, as Interim President for Franciscan Children’s, Dr. Chiang will work closely with Franciscan Children’s outstanding leadership team to maintain the momentum toward the evolution of Franciscan Children’s campus, and our shared commitment to do more together for children and families with behavioral health and rehabilitative care needs. With his exceptional track record of leadership and bringing people together, Dr. Chiang’s clinical and operational expertise makes him uniquely qualified to lead the continued clinical integration of Franciscan Children’s and Boston Children’s.
