A Message from Our Interim CEO

As we bid farewell to our extraordinary leader, Paige Dworak, FACHE, we celebrate her 8 years of unwavering dedication, visionary leadership, and tireless service to the communities we serve. Paige’s impact on CareWell Health Medical Center is immeasurable, and we wish her all the very best in her next chapter.

I have been a key member of our leadership team for the past four years, bringing unmatched operational expertise, deep institutional knowledge, and a steadfast commitment to our mission.

Our priorities remain clear: delivering safe, high-quality care, supporting our dedicated team, and building on the momentum we’ve worked so hard to achieve.
