“I bring collaboration and cohesion to the transparent financial operations of growing public health plans, said Tetreault.

An avid supporter of community organizations in Rhode Island, where her volunteerism included serving as board treasurer for The Women’s Center of RI (shelter for victims of domestic abuse), Tetreault looks forward to pursuing local volunteer efforts.
