Marianne Raimondo is an assistant professor and the director of the Health Care Administration program at Rhode Island College.

She is a fellow of the college’s Center for Addiction and Behavioral Health Studies, where she is involved in applied research to support care delivery and the improvement of behavioral health care systems in Rhode Island.
Prior to her academic position at RIC, she was a management consultant for healthcare organizations throughout the country, providing education and consultation in quality management, systems redesign, leadership development, and patient satisfaction. She was a vice president at Applied Management Systems in Burlington, MA. Prior to that, she was a senior vice president at the Hospital Association of R.I. She was an adjunct professor at the Boston University School of Public Health and in the Providence College Health Policy and Management and Social Work program.
