Marguerite Tuthill has been promoted to chief operating officer of Monument Health, a Grand Junction-based health care organization.

Tuthill joined Monument Health in July 2022 and since has worked with health care providers, clinicians and the operations team to create health care metrics and risk-based contracting.

“I believe in the work we do here, flipping the old paradigm of sick care to health care so that our members get better outcomes at reduced costs and enjoy healthier lives,” Tuthill said.

Ashley Thurow, executive director of Monument Health, praised the promotion. “Marguerite understands the health care system. She intuitively gets what’s working and what’s not working.”

Before joining Monument Health, Tuthill worked as director of value-based payor contracting and data for the Western Healthcare Alliance. She also served as director of business development for HopeWest. She holds a master’s of public health degree from the University of Minnesota School of Public Health.
