Staff Changes At Peninsula Village

Please allow me to introduce myself: I am Dr. Marianne Oliveira, Administrator of Peninsula Village. I have recently returned to employment with Peninsula. Some of you may know me, but for those who don't, I will share a bit of my professional background. I have been in healthcare my entire career. I have undergraduate degrees in nursing and psychology, a Master's Degree in Public Health and a Ph.D. in Public Health Education. My focus during my doctoral studies was in mental health and Social Work. I am not new to Peninsula or the Covenant Health System. I have served Covenant Health as a leader for 18 years, including 13 years at Peninsula Hospital as clinical director and administrator.

I am writing to inform you of some leadership team changes at the Village. I want you to know that Peninsula Village remains committed to providing our patients the very best in clinical care. We understand what it means to be worthy of the trust you put in us when you send a patient to us. As an administrator, I take very seriously the responsibility for having the right people in the right positions to achieve long term success for our patients and their families.

Toward this end, there has been a reorganization of leadership positions at Peninsula Village. These people, along with family therapists and other staff join in the commitment to building an environment of excellent service and a culture of teamwork. I believe there is no substitute for experience, as evidenced by the proven track record of the following individuals.

Dr. Raman has developed strong Child and Adolescent Inpatient programs at Peninsula Hospital over the past eight years, and patients in these programs have experienced excellent outcomes. All who have worked with Dr. Raman have found him to be professional in all aspects of his position, and a tremendous team member.
