The Copley Health Systems’ Board of Trustees has appointed Elizabeth Rouse as Board Chair. Rouse steps into the role vacated by Jan Roy who fulfilled her three-year term.
Other appointments included Dana Wildes of Morrisville to Vice Chair; John Steel of Stowe named Treasurer; and Anne Vitaletti-Coughlin, M.D. of Stowe re-appointed to Secretary.
Rouse, a Hyde Park resident, joined Copley’s Board in 2005. Her experience in administration and management as well as planning and communication continues to be an asset to the Board. Previous to Copley she served as Director of Education at the Brain Injury Association, formerly the National Head Injury Foundation. She also served as Associate Director of Program Development for The Joseph P. Kennedy Jr. Foundation in Washington D.C. Rouse is active in her community with organizations that include the Lamoille County Players and River Arts.
“As I take on the responsibility as Chair of Copley Health Systems and Copley Hospital, all of us face the uncertainties about how state and national health care reform and the pace of financial recovery will affect us. These concerns bring new challenges and also important opportunities. Board members, who represent the community, are dedicated to the Mission and Vision of Copley Health Systems. In the year ahead, we will strive to keep the hospital thriving and our community healthy by working cooperatively with the CEO, administrators, caring physicians, nurses, and entire staff of Copley Hospital, and in partnership with many community health care providers.”
