Kelly A. Toth, manager of Hartford HealthCares Ayer Neuroscience Institute, has been described as a hidden gem of a leader during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On March 17, Toth was deployed to support Hartford HealthCares COVID-19 operations, including the regional operations command center and development of the drive-through testing site at MidState Medical Center.

After a five-month deployment, Toth accepted a position as a manager of the Ayer Neuroscience Institute.

She created a team and process at MidState Medical Centers drive-through testing site that is far above any other testing process in the Hartford HealthCare system.

I developed the most efficient testing site resulting in consistent waits of five minutes or less while processing upwards of 300 patients a day, she said.

Toth has been highly regarded by her executive leadership team for her leadership skills and tireless effort to support the COVID-19 initiative, oftentimes working seven days a week.

This experience has been humbling, but from it I have learned to lead by influence, which will only further benefit me as I advance in my career, she said.
