PeaceHealth, a leading healthcare organization in Vancouver, has recently appointed several new members to its Board of Directors. Carol Aaron has been named as the new chair, taking over from Karl Carrier who stepped down after more than eight years of service. Aaron, who has been on the board since January 2021, brings over 30 years of experience in the healthcare industry to the role. She held executive positions at PeaceHealth, St. Joseph Health System, and Sutter Health before retiring in 2019.
In addition to Aaron’s appointment, Dr. Ione Adams and Lorraine Arvin have also been elected to serve on the board. Adams, who has been chairing the PeaceHealth St. Joseph Community Health Board in Bellingham since 2020, recently retired from practicing family medicine after a long and distinguished career. Arvin, a seasoned chief financial officer, brings expertise in financial strategies and long-term financial planning to the board. She most recently served as the vice president and treasurer at Reed College before retiring in 2021.
These new appointments bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the PeaceHealth Board of Directors, further strengthening the organization’s leadership team as they continue their mission of providing quality healthcare services to the community. With their diverse backgrounds and skill sets, Aaron, Adams, and Arvin are well-equipped to help guide PeaceHealth through its ongoing growth and development efforts.
