Introducing our new Executive Director

Dear friends of Choice in Health, 

After nearly a decade in sexual health—from frontline work and peer education to serving as CIHC’s Operations Manager—I’m honored to step into the role of Executive Director. My journey has deepened my commitment to compassionate, client-centered care that truly meets people where they are. 

As we move forward, I remain dedicated to addressing the multifaceted challenges of reproductive care. Our work recognizes that real access means more than just service delivery—it means listening to the experiences of those impacted by systemic inequities and crafting solutions that reflect their needs. We will continue to harness the collective wisdom of our team, clients and community to break down barriers and ensure that every individual can access the care they deserve. 

I’m continually inspired by the commitment of community care providers and local advocates who work tirelessly for change. Alongside our dedicated team, I look forward to forging new partnerships, overcoming challenges, and expanding access to vital services. Together, we will build a path for CIHC defined by inclusive, transformative care and an unwavering commitment to equity. 

Best,

Michelle Gutierrez (she/her)
