Treasure Coast Community Health, a leading provider of comprehensive, community-based healthcare services, is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Heather Miranda as its new Chief Executive Officer.

Dr. Miranda brings more than 25 years of experience in healthcare leadership, with a strong track record of advancing patient-centered care, expanding access to underserved populations, and strengthening organizational performance. As CEO, Miranda will oversee all strategic, operational, and financial aspects of the organization, with a focus on enhancing quality of care, expanding services, and deepening community partnerships.

“Over the past six months, Dr. Heather Miranda has ably led Treasure Coast Community Health as the Interim CEO. Along with a committed staff and engaged volunteers, she led the organization through a deep examination of its operations and finances, refocused the team on TCCH’s core mission of providing top-quality, community-based care to the Treasure Coast, and established initiatives that will add $2.5 million to TCCH’s bottom line,” said Mary Lintermann, Chair of the Governing Board of Directors. “We are confident that Heather will continue to provide the strong leadership needed to position TCCH as a model of community healthcare.”

Prior to joining TCCH, Miranda served as Director of Clinical Operations and the Interim Health Director for Wake County Health and Human Services in Raleigh, North Carolina where she led initiatives that increased encounters from 88,000 to 102,000, reduced reliance on county funding by $2 million, and developed the Oak City Care Homeless Coordination Health Clinic. She has been recognized for her work with at-risk populations, including the provision of comprehensive healthcare services to incarcerated persons in the jail setting.

Miranda holds a Doctor of Public Health Leadership from the University of Illinois, Chicago; a master’s degree in healthcare administration from the Gillings School of Public Health and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; and a Bachelor of Science degree in nutrition and dietetics from California State University, Long Beach.

“I am honored to lead TCCH at this important period in its history and to work alongside such a talented and dedicated team,” said Miranda. “TCCH plays a critical role as the first line of defense in community health and is committed to improving the health and well-being of our community. I look forward to working collaboratively to strengthen and broaden access to high-quality, community-based healthcare for everyone in Indian River County.”
