Caryn Packard, founder and principal consultant at Packard Healthcare Consulting in New York City, has been appointed director of development at the Southwestern Vermont Health Care Foundation.
In her new role, Packard will support the SVHC Foundation in its mission to raise funds for SVHC. The foundation recently launched the public phase of its Vision 2020: A Decade of Transformation capital campaign, which has raised nearly $24 million of its $25 million goal over the past four years.
“Caryn’s background in health care and her proven ability to connect with others will be tremendous assets to the SVHC Foundation,” said Vice President for Corporate Development Leslie Keefe. “She will be a valuable addition to our strong and dedicated team and make a major impact as we continue to raise funds for crucial projects throughout the health system.”
Packard has worked in health care since 2010. She earned a bachelor’s degree in community health education and a master’s in health administration, both from the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania. She has spent the majority of her career in patient access, patient financial services and internal revenue cycle improvement initiatives at NewYork-Presbyterian Medical Groups.
Packard is also a National Strength and Conditioning Association-certified personal trainer with a focus on healthy aging and functional fitness.
