(Springfield, Ore.) June 21, 2021— PacificSource welcomes Erin Fair Taylor as its new vice president of Medicaid programs. In this role, Fair Taylor will lead and guide the continued growth and development of PacificSource’s Medicaid line of business, known as PacificSource Community Solutions, which currently serves more than 297,000 Medicaid members throughout the state of Oregon.
Fair Taylor comes to PacificSource from CareOregon, where she most recently served as their chief strategy officer. She also served as their chief legal officer and in several additional key roles during her twelve years with the organization. During her time with CareOregon, she also served as the interim director of government relations for Health Share of Oregon. Prior to that, she served as chief of staff for the office of State Senator Dr. Alan Bates with the Oregon Legislature.
“The regions where we provide Medicaid services have expanded dramatically over the past few years, and so it was critical that we find someone with extensive experience in this space, and the thoughtful leadership needed to support the local communities where we do business. Erin fits that bill perfectly and we are confident she will take good care of our valued members,” said Ken Provencher, president and CEO of PacificSource.
Fair Taylor received her juris doctor degree from the University of Oregon Law School, a Master of Public Health degree from Tulane University School of Public Health & Tropical Medicine, and a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from the University of Florida.
