Mark Korth Joins PeaceHealth as Chief Transformation and Integration Officer

VANCOUVER, Wash. — Sept. 23, 2025 — PeaceHealth today announced the appointment of Mark Korth as chief transformation and integration officer, a key leadership role designed to accelerate the health system’s bold journey to become a truly integrated healthcare delivery system. In this new role, Korth will be responsible for driving systemwide integration of business functions, systems and processes in support of clinical care delivery and enterprise standardization.

Korth’s appointment is part of a comprehensive realignment of PeaceHealth’s senior leadership team to accelerate its three-year transformation strategy. Earlier this month, PeaceHealth named Mike Dwyer as president of strategy and business value.

“Mark joins PeaceHealth at a pivotal time in our transformation journey,” said Sarah Ness, incoming PeaceHealth president and CEO. “With his deep experience leading organizational alignment and transformation, we will strengthen the systems and services that support our caregivers and teams, enabling us to deliver on our Mission and create a more connected, person-first care experience for all we serve.”

Mark brings more than 25 years of leadership experience facilitating transformation and integration across major health systems. Prior to joining PeaceHealth, he was a partner in Guidehouse’s healthcare segment, where he advised health systems on operating model design and enterprise-wide transformation. He also served as region president at Intermountain Health, where he helped lead the integration with SCL Health and was an executive sponsor of Intermountain’s three-year transformation initiative. Earlier in his career, he held senior leadership roles at SCL Health, Dignity Health and Tenet Healthcare.

“I am excited for the opportunity to join PeaceHealth in this new role and to collaborate with such talented leaders and caregivers,” said Korth. “Together, we will align our business functions and clinical operations to deliver exceptional care today while building the foundation to meet the needs of our communities for well into the future.”
