Health System Foundation Welcomes New Board Member

Solomons resident Judy Switick has been named to the CalvertHealth Foundation Board of Trustees. She joins 14 other community members who are currently serving.

“I spent 15 years as a nurse and have now entered a new phase in my career as a Health and Life Coach. My experience practicing in these healing professions gives me some knowledge and also perspective,” said Switick. She continued, “I believe strongly in health as a foundation of our lives. While this means different things to each of us, and different things at different stages in our existence, I believe we all have right to receive the best care and attain the best level of health we can.”

Switick is most excited about CalvertHealth’s Cancer Care initiatives. “CalvertHealth has some really big, audacious goals for cancer care – and to see that they are coming to fruition is so impressive.” She previously volunteered and is still a board member for a small charitable organization called In the Pink, which provides cancer support services to those living in her former community of Jacksonville, Florida.

“With her corporate background and prior healthcare experience, Judy brings a wealth of knowledge and understanding to our work,” said Theresa Johnson, Vice President for Brand Strategy and Philanthropy. “Knowing that she is especially passionate about cancer care, Judy will be a valuable asset in helping us grow the program and realizing our cancer mission to build a cutting edge cancer center right here in our region.”

In her spare time, Switick and her husband Kevin, who have been married for nearly 40 years, love to travel and spend time with family - including their three children and five grandsons.
