WOONSOCKET – Charles T. Jones, Thundermist Health Center’s president and CEO, is resigning Feb. 22.
“It has been a great privilege to have the opportunity to lead Thundermist and to work with such a committed group of employees who care so deeply about Thundermist, our patients and communities.” Jones said in a statement. “My work at Thundermist and with our community partners has provided me with the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my career.”

Tim Henry, chair of the Thundermist Board of Directors, said Jones came to Thundermist eight years ago, adding the board is grateful for his leadership.

“During his time with us he has far exceeded expectations in his contributions to our communities, the state and most importantly to Thundermist. He is leaving Thundermist financially strong, operationally sound and well positioned in the health care environment. The board has a CEO succession planning process in place which it will now execute as we work closely with Chuck to ensure a seamless transition to our next leader,” Henry said in prepared remarks.

In 2008, Jones joined the nonprofit community health center as chief information officer. Three years later, he became president and CEO.

A nationwide search will be conducted for Jones’ replacement.

Thundermist has locations in West Warwick, Woonsocket and South County. In 2015, Thundermist served more than 42,000 patients.
