Senior Program Manager of Provider Experience Aisha Mason (Robinson) was recently celebrated as the Primary Care Coalition’s 2023 Employee of the Year at a March 14 luncheon at the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda. Department heads submit nominations for the honor each year, senior directors offer endorsements, and then PCC’s President and Chief Executive Officer makes the selection.
Aisha Mason said that when her department head, Senior Director of Healthcare Access Dr. Veronica Vela, initially notified her of the honor, she was “shocked.” Mason said, “We do so much good work at PCC; it was a nice surprise that I was selected. I wasn’t expecting it.”
“As an outstanding employee who routinely goes above and beyond to ensure that the needs of our providers and partners are met, Aisha Mason was at the top of our list,” said PCC President and CEO Leslie Graham. “Her strong project management skills, attention to detail, and ability to create a collegial and effective team atmosphere maintain and strengthen the Montgomery Cares program. That allows PCC to provide health care access to more than 20,000 Montgomery County adults.”
Known as Aisha Robinson before her October marriage, Mason has worked for the Primary Care Coalition for the past four years. Her work with a for-profit healthcare company immediately following graduate school ended during the COVID-19 pandemic, and she moved back home. That was when she was drawn to the nonprofit Primary Care Coalition for its work with clinics, hospitals, healthcare providers, and other community partners to coordinate healthcare and related services for the County’s most vulnerable residents.
“PCC aligns with my passions of helping others and making the community a better place,” said Mason. “I am grateful for being able to do the work that I do and to PCC for providing an environment where I can work with people I consider to be friends. At the end of the day, we are making a difference, and that feels good.”
What Mason appreciates most about her work is that she knows patients are getting the care they need. She works directly with clinic managers and directors, as well as internal and external partners. When asked what drives her, Mason responded, “The opportunity for growth, and to learn and make adjustments and be the best I can be.”
When she's not working at PCC, Mason enjoys Pure Barre workouts and crafting, a hobby she put to good use producing name tags and other custom projects for her wedding. She is “cat mom” to Ghost and Malcolm and is considering adding a dog to her family.
