William Baron joined Washington Health Institute (WHI) in Spring of 2023 as the Practice Manager. He first earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Animation from Northern Illinois University, then transitioned into healthcare as a long-term care facility dementia preceptor as their lead nursing assistant. From there, he moved into a more clinical role as an American Society Clinical Pathology (ASCP) Certified Phlebotomist. He also worked in the hospital’s main laboratory as a Microbiology technician and as a Client Service Problem Resolution Specialist.  With closer exposure to acute care management, direct patient care experience and clinical coordination, he returned to school and earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from George Washington University during the height of the COVID Pandemic. Since graduating, he had been working as an ICU Registered Nurse at MedStar Washington Hospital Center in Washington DC and had decided to take the next step into healthcare management with WHI.

William enjoys the outdoors, including hiking, camping, and white-water rafting. He likes to stay active and work out in his spare time. His passion for self-care, awareness, and health equity drives his Nursing centered care not only for his patients, but also his colleagues.
