Formed in 1980 as the Avalon Hospital Foundation, this organization’s goal is to support health care on the island, both through raising funds and by publicizing CIMC’s goals and guiding principles. The regular monthly meetings of the Foundation board enable the members to receive an update on the medical center’s plans and activities. That update enables the Foundation to anticipate and prepare t
o help meet the medical center’s needs. The Foundation president is also in attendance at the monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of CIMC as an active participant in addressing solutions to the community’s health care needs. Laboratory analyzers, ultrasounds and EKG machines are just a few of the essential equipment purchases that have been made possible by foundation support. The organization has also funded facility renovations and training for personnel. Please send donations to:

After nearly a decade of leadership, Catalina Island Health CEO Jason Paret will step down from his position as of September 30, 2025. In his time as CEO, Paret has a long list of accomplishments. He played a transformative role in expanding care, guiding the passage of Measure H to fund a new hospital, and forging key partnerships—including a clinical affiliation with UCI Health.
Current Chief Strategy Officer Tim Kielpinski will take over as CEO on October 1, 2025, immediately following Paret’s departure. He has been with CIH since January 2024, after seven years as COO of the Catalina Island Conservancy. With strong leadership skills and a broad understanding of operations and construction—especially on the island, Kielpinski is already playing a critical role in all aspects of CIH's current and future goals.
The CIH Board expressed gratitude to Paret and full confidence in Kielpinski’s leadership moving forward.
