BOSTON — Today, Governor Charlie Baker, Attorney General Maura Healey, and State Auditor Suzanne Bump announced that Lauren Peters, current Undersecretary for Health Policy for the Executive Office of Health and Human Services, has been appointed Executive Director of the Center for Health Information and Analysis (CHIA) effective January 3, 2023. Ray Campbell, current Executive Director of CHIA, is stepping down after completion of his 5-year term.
"Lauren Peters has been an integral part of our administration's efforts to develop health care policy that promotes quality, affordable care for residents and families across the Commonwealth, and she will bring extensive knowledge and expertise to CHIA in this new role," said Governor Charlie Baker. "I also want to express my appreciation to Ray Campbell for his dedicated service to CHIA and the Commonwealth."
"CHIA plays a critical role in promoting transparency and data-driven policy in our health care system," said Attorney General Maura Healey. "Lauren Peters' breadth of health policy experience positions her to be an effective and terrific leader of CHIA's mission to inform policymakers and help improve health care outcomes for patients and families."
"Ms. Peters brings extensive experience in healthcare policy and administration which will undoubtedly advance CHIA's mission of informing policy makers interested in improving healthcare services and containing costs," said State Auditor Suzanne M. Bump. "Mr. Campbell is to be commended and thanked for the foundation that he has built and the insights he has provided."

"I am deeply grateful to Governor Baker, Attorney General and Governor-elect Healey, and Auditor Bump for the opportunity to lead CHIA at a time when data is more important than ever as our healthcare system is faced with unprecedented challenges," said Lauren Peters. "I look forward to joining the exceptional team at CHIA and building off Ray's many accomplishments to ensure our healthcare system has the data it needs to respond to the pressing issues of today and inform key policies of tomorrow."
