Tahoe Forest Hospital District Board of Directors Director Dale Chamblin

The Tahoe Forest Health District announced the appointment of new President & CEO Anna Roth this week following an extended search. Roth is scheduled to begin her new position in March. She is the first person to take over the position since previous CEO Harry Weis left the role in May, 2024, after being placed on administrative leave.

The 2024 wildfire season has proven once again to be an active one, with California witnessing over 7,100 wildfires that have scorched more than 1 million acres. The Tahoe region, in particular, experienced several major fires, including one of the largest in state history. While many homes and structures were lost, and lives were impacted, the devastating consequences could have been much worse. For residents of the Truckee-Tahoe area, the recent fires served as a stark reminder of the region's ongoing wildfire risks.
