I first served on the Board of Directors for the Havasu Community Health Foundation, then became the Executive Director in 2016. I believe in the strategic thinking and the forward vision of the Havasu Community Health Foundation and I love working side by side with all the dedicated volunteers and staff involved in transforming a vision into a mission focused on “A Healthier Havasu".
It is my pleasure to become a member of the Havasu Community Health Foundation’s Board of Directors and I look forward to working with the Board and the Partners of the Foundation as together, we expand our programs and services to the greater Lake Havasu community.My wife Kimberly and I have been full-time residents of our fine city for over 13 years. Kimberly and I fell in love over 15 years ago and have been married for the past 10 years. We have a wonderful relationship both personal and business. Kimberly has been a Financial Planner/Consultant for 28 years and is currently with LPL Financial and I am an independent Commercial Real Estate Developer/Investor.
I was born and raised in the Portland, Oregon area and lived there for my whole life prior to moving to Lake Havasu. I was active in Boy Scouts during high school and obtained my Eagle Scout award.
I am a volunteer at the Havasu Community Health Foundation office and a committee member of the Cancer Association of Havasu since 2016. I was recently voted in as the new 2017 director of the Cancer Association. In 2013 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and have been a survivor since. I will bring that personal experience to my work with the Cancer Association. My goal is to continue the great programs offered by the Cancer Association and maybe create some new ones!
I retired after 25 years from Aetna Healthcare in Seattle Washington. My husband Mark & I were then able to follow my “snowbird” parents to Lake Havasu City where we fell in love with the community & weather.

Kathy Chalmers moved to Lake Havasu City in 1984 and signed on with the local hospital as an RN at $4.50 an hour. Two facts struck her: Havasu people, including herself, were not generally well paid and those people needed affordable health care.
