Center for Transforming Lives welcomes Dr. Catherine Oliveros as incoming Board President
Fort Worth -- Center for Transforming Lives is thrilled to welcome Dr. Catherine Oliveros, DRPH, as incoming president of the Board of Directors. Oliveros has served on the board since 2022, most recently as chair of the Programs Committee.
Oliveros is no stranger to leadership or community transformation. Over the course of more than two decades in public health, she has built an extraordinary career focused on health equity, access and collaboration.
She currently serves as vice president of community health improvement at Texas Health Resources. In her role, she oversees community health research and evaluation and is responsible for programs created as part of Texas Health Community Impact, the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment Program (DSRIP) and Community Health Ministry. Additionally, she oversees the Texas Health Mobile Initiative: Wellness for Life and strategic trajectory projects established to disrupt current systems of care to improve health outcomes.
Previously, Oliveros served as director of community affairs at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas. Her 24-year career also includes six years with Susan G. Komen and impactful work at United Way of Tarrant County, where she forged partnerships that improved lives across our region
Oliveros holds a master’s degree and a doctorate degree in public health from Loma Linda University as well as a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Pitzer.
What truly sets her apart is not just her professional achievements, but her heart for the community. She understands that real change happens at the intersection of vision and action, and she has dedicated her career to ensuring that families — especially those facing the steepest challenges — have the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
