Beatriz Vasquez, PhD - Board Secretary


Beatriz Vasquez, Ph.D. was appointed to the MMHD Board on December 2014 and holds the Secretary position. She also serves on the Quality Committee and as ex-officio Board Director at the Mayers Intermountain Healthcare Foundation.

Dr. Vasquez has scientific background and received her education in Argentina.  She did research in Neuroscience for over 19 years at UC Irvine and Loma Linda VA Hospital where authored over 40 publications in the areas of Mechanisms of Tolerance/Addiction, Memory, Learning, Aging , and the effects of Electromagnetic Radiation on Circadian Rhythms.   Next she entered the California Community College arena first as a Biology Professor and then as an administrator (Dean, Vice President) at three different colleges.  She retired in July 2014. 

Dr. Vasquez believes in the importance of the Mayers Memorial Hospital to the health of the intermountain area and decided to volunteer for this position knowing that she could transfer her skills sets (leadership, governance, quality, and finances) to accomplish the fiduciary responsibility it requires.
