ladylazarus,
You definitely have a chance at those schools if you can raise your GMAT as close to the 80th percentile (quant/verbal) as you can. In terms of improving your profile, you should commit to the fund development NGO work and ramp it up ASAP to strengthen your leadership, network through professional associations in the healthcare management space to establish your "bona fides" as an HCM career switcher, and consider applying early decision to either CBS or Duke. MIT and Wharton will be much tougher than Duke, but perhaps also consider Tuck. I'd be happy to give your resume a closer look: [email protected].

I think a career switch is fine because you are not a double switcher (i.e. you are already in the healthcare industry but in pharmaceuticals). Make sure to highlight those skills sets that are transferable to healthcare management.
I would also recommend you accept the fund development team position to show continued community service.
Your GMAT score is weaker so in an ideal world you could retake it again if you have time. I would still recommend, though, that you apply to Fuqua Duke as it is a doable reach. If you apply to Columbia, strongly consider Early Decision as your chances will be greater (Duke as well). I think you are competitive for NYU Stern. You might wish to consider Cornell as closer to a safety.
Good luck,
