Assisted living leader joins health care district board

Petaluma Health Care District (PHCD) Wednesday appointed Becky Monday to its board of directors as a member at large.

Monday is the general manager and administrator of Petaluma's Springfield Place Assisted Living Community. The district stated that Monday ran uncontested, filling the seat recently vacated by Dr. Robert Ostroff after his term concluded.

“Becky came to us with a sincere interest in the health of our community, an understanding of our community's health care landscape and our need for long-term wellness support for multi-generational populations. She provides a fresh lens to our board as we continue to work through major decisions – most immediately vetting and recommending a new operator for Petaluma Valley Hospital. The community will benefit from her vast professional and personal experience, and we are thrilled to have her join our Board,” stated CEO Ramona Faith.

The district stated that prior to directing Springfield Place, Monday was the general manager of an assisted living facility in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, where she also facilitated business transactions and decisions, such as the transition from one management group to another.

Her professional experience also includes serving as a paramedic, coordinator of emergency medical services, National Park Service ranger and substitute teacher. A member of Petaluma's Chamber of Commerce, she was deeply involved with the Women in Business Committee and is a 2016 graduate of Leadership Petaluma, the district's announcement stated.

PHCD's Board of Directors is a five-member body made up of community volunteers and working in coordination with Faith. Board members may serve consecutive terms. In addition to Monday's addition, the Board approved the slate of new officers, which includes: President Elece Hempel, Vice President Josephine Thornton, Secretary Fran Adams and Treasurer Joseph Stern.

PHCD has served the health and wellness needs of the community for 70 years and is a public agency managed by the community for the community.
