In a message to staff, Dr. Peterman said, “I am extremely fortunate to have been the leader of Primary Health since its beginning in 2004. What we have accomplished over the past 18 years is incredible. My success and the success of the company are directly related to the hard work and talent of all of you. I am very gratified and especially thankful for the care you have provided our community during the pandemic. Your efforts have positively impacted more than a million patient visits, and you have saved thousands of lives. It has been a privilege to be the CEO of Primary Health.” He added, “Dr. Dan Reed has been with Primary Health ever since we formed. I have great confidence in Dan and I’m excited to see where he will take Primary Health as the new CEO.”

“David has been a personal and professional mentor throughout my career in medicine,” said Dr. Dan Reed, incoming CEO. “His commitment to high-quality care has gotten us to where we are today and has put us in an excellent position to continue to serve our rapidly-growing community. I look forward to the challenges and opportunities the next few years will bring.”

We are grateful to the leadership of Dr. Peterman in the Ada County medical community over the past 18 years. He has been a visible presence in the fight against COVID-19, helping to brief school district leaders on the virus as they contemplated various mitigation strategies. We also look forward to Dr. Reed's tenure. Dr. Reed has played a role on the ACMS board, currently serves on the Idaho Medical Association Board, and has served as volunteer medical director for Genesis Community Health clinic in Garden City.
