New Blood Joins PeaceHealth Board of Directors: Carol Aaron, Dr. Ione Adams and Lorraine Arvin Bring Expertise to the Table

PeaceHealth, a renowned healthcare organization based in Vancouver, has recently appointed several new members to its Board of Directors. Carol Aaron has been named as the new chair, succeeding Karl Carrier who stepped down after serving over eight years on the board. Aaron, who joined the board in January 2021, brings with her more than 30 years of experience in the healthcare industry. She previously 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 an impressive career that spanned over four decades. Arvin, a seasoned financial expert with extensive experience in strategic planning and long-term financial management, most recently served as the vice president and treasurer at Reed College before retiring in 2021.

These new appointments bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the PeaceHealth Board of Directors, further strengthening the organization’s leadership team as they continue their mission of delivering high-quality healthcare services to their community members.
