Welcome to Fostering Solutions, the podcast where we explore the heart of leadership, community, and impact. I’m your host, Dr. Michelle Foster. In this special series—Holding the Mission Together: Leadership in the Face of Uncertainty—we’re highlighting nonprofit leaders who have guided their organizations through challenge and change while remaining deeply anchored in purpose. Today’s guest is Dr. Angie Settle, CEO of WV Health Right, the state’s oldest and largest free and charitable clinic. With nearly three decades of service, Angie has led with compassion, innovation, and grit—expanding the clinic’s reach to serve more than 46,000 uninsured and underinsured West Virginians each year. Under her leadership, WV Health Right has added mobile medical and dental units, integrated behavioral health services, created teaching kitchens, and most recently launched the Prepped to Serve Appalachia and Mobile Teaching Kitchen programs—both designed to merge health, nutrition, and workforce development. Angie’s journey is one of faith, family, and an unwavering commitment to service. She’s a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Health Equity Award recipient, a member of the 2024 West Virginia Executive Healthcare Hall of Fame, and a 2024 Women on a Mission honoree. In this episode, Angie opens up about how she led WV Health Right through moments of financial uncertainty and change—sharing the values that guided her, the tough decisions she faced, and the innovative solutions that emerged from adversity. She also reflects on what it means to hold the mission together, to care for yourself as a leader, and to stay hopeful in the work of healing a community.
