Pioneers Memorial Healthcare District announced on Monday "the departure" of CEO Christopher R. Bjornberg. "After thorough discussion and consideration, it was decided by the Board of Directors to move forward with this decision," district spokesperson, Michelle Ramirez, wrote in an email response to inquiries from IVP asking for more details than the September 9 press release provided. "In the absence of the CEO, the Board of Directors will continue overseeing district operations until an interim is found," she wrote. Rumors that two PMHD board members were to resign proved to be false. Bjornberg was announced as PMHD's new CEO on November 10, 2023, and signed a five-year contract with district.
