Cambia Health Foundation Welcomes Allison Gruber as New Leader

PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cambia Health Foundation is pleased to announce that Allison Gruber will serve as its vice president and leader, effective June 24, 2026.

Gruber comes to this role from Cambia Health Solutions' Strategy and Innovation team, leading data-driven enterprise strategy initiatives — spanning technology, AI and pharmacy — to improve health outcomes, experience and affordability for millions of health plan members across the country. During that time, she partnered directly with the Foundation on its 10-year strategy refresh, developing a deep understanding of the Foundation's vision and the communities it serves. She brings a proven track record of advancing impact across nonprofit and corporate sectors — tackling complex challenges, stewarding investment portfolios responsibly and collaborating across teams to find the critical intersection between community need and organizational priority. Prior to joining Cambia, she spent over a decade at Deloitte advising nonprofit health systems on patient access, quality and financial stability, before rising to Chief of Staff to the Chief People Officer, where she provided strategic guidance on approximately $1 billion in annual operational and strategic investments.

Gruber will assume her new role on June 24, succeeding Peggy Maguire who is retiring from the Foundation after a distinguished tenure.

"Our search centered on finding someone who could honor the Foundation's deep roots while boldly advancing its future," said Dan Conrad, chief administrative officer of Cambia Health Solutions. "Allison brings a rare combination of strategic vision and genuine passion for the communities we serve. Her dedication to building happier, healthier communities is at the heart of everything she does.”

"I’m honored to step into this role at such an important moment for the Foundation," said Gruber. "The Cambia Health Foundation’s work is incredibly meaningful to me. I look forward to building on its impact and working alongside our partners to drive lasting change for our communities."

Gruber earned a Master of Public Health in Sociomedical Sciences from Columbia University and a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Sciences & Policy and Psychology from Duke University.
