HEALTHCARE DISTRICT CEO DEPARTS POSITION

Caroline Wasielewski, chief executive officer of Tehachapi Valley Healthcare

District, has left the position.

Wasielewski had several roles with the district as it transitioned from operating the local hospital to a new hospital opening in November

2018 under the management of Adventist Health. As CEO of the district, she worked with the Board of Directors to make a decision about what to do with the old hospital.

Eventually the board decided to raze the old hospital and most recently had the downtown property graded to prepare for construction of a planned community resource center.

Wasielewski’s last day with the district was Nov. 25.

The board met in closed session on Nov. 22 to consider the CEO position but took no action, she noted. Another special meeting is planned for 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 6. An agenda will be posted on the district’s website, tvhd.org.
