UKIAH, Calif. – MCHC Health Centers recently named Jill Damian to the position of chief operations officer.
Damian has been with MCHC Health Centers since 2006, serving as department manager for the Care for Her women’s health program.
In this role, she worked closely with providers and staff, fostering the growth of the region’s most comprehensive women’s services provider in Mendocino County.
Prior to joining MCHC Health Centers, Damian spent four years as the executive director for the Potter Valley Community Health Center.
Damian holds a master’s degree in Pacific international affairs from the University of California, San Diego. She received her Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
She is also 2014 graduate of the California Primary Care Association’s Health Management+ Program and a graduate of Leadership Mendocino.
“In this new position, I am able to continue working with our talented, committed professionals to support health throughout communities in Lake and Mendocino Counties,” she said.
Damian is dedicated to caring for local people – in part because her roots here are deep. Her family goes back seven generations in Mendocino County, and she and her husband, Jesse, are now busy raising the eighth generation: their three daughters.
Damian joins Chief Executive Officer Carole Press as part of MCHC Health Centers’ leadership team.
Together, they are reinforcing the organization’s commitment to caring for people in inland Mendocino County, and throughout Lake County via their three health centers: Hillside Health Center in Ukiah, Little Lake Health Center in Willits, and Lakeview Health Center in Lakeport.
MCHC Health Centers offer comprehensive services including primary medical care, pediatrics, dentistry, women’s health, counseling, psychiatry and specialty care.
