Centra is pleased to announce the appointment of Amy F. Carrier to the role of president and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), effective September 7, 2021.
"We conducted a comprehensive national search to ensure we found the best fit for our communities, and the board is confident in the highly qualified individual we have selected to assume leadership of Centra," said Amy Ray, chair of the Centra Board of Directors.

Ms. Carrier comes to Centra from Bon Secours Mercy Health, where she served as the Market President for the Bon Secours Hampton Roads Health System.

In addition, she has proven expertise in strategy, operations, service line development, and strong community relations.
"I am thrilled to join Centra and make the central Virginia community my home," said Carrier. "I am honored to move into this role and to have the opportunity to help guide Centra into the future. I appreciate the board's confidence and look forward to adding to Centra's legacy of excellence in healthcare."
