Elizabeth Dunne has been named president and CEO of Vancouver, Wash.-based PeaceHealth.
Dunne, 59, will begin her new role in November. She replaces Alan Yordy, who retired this summer after 25 years with the Catholic health system.
A registered dietician by background, Dunne currently serves as community CEO for Providence Health & Services' South Bay, Calif., region. She has worked with the Renton, Wash.-based Catholic system since 2011.
Before working at Providence, Dunne held executive positions at Duarte, Calif.-based City of Hope and Memorial Health Services in Fountain Valley, Calif. She also served 10 years in the U.S. Air Force on active duty and 10 years in the Reserve, retiring as a lieutenant colonel.
PeaceHealth has doubled in size over the past decade with the construction of three hospitals in Oregon and Washington and a new clinic in Alaska. Its medical group also grew from 250 to nearly 850 physicians.
