Today’s spotlight: Peggy Chase

Title: President and CEO, Terros Health

Background: Chase oversees Terros, an integrated, whole healthcare company that has served Arizonans since 1969. She leads more than 1,000 employees with a compassionate leadership style that seeks to mentor, coach and grow new leaders.

Source of pride: “Having the honor of leading Terros Health and growing from a $32 million company to an $80 million company with an amazing team of employees; having the privilege to impact over 50,000 direct lives annually; and having people in the community share how Terros Health saved their life.”

Surprising fact: “In 1989, I was severely bitten by a rattlesnake and fought for my life, then fought to save my right leg.”
