SALMON Health and Retirement Forms Family Owners Board, Appoints Two Independent Members
July 26, 2026
MILFORD, Mass. — SALMON Health and Retirement has formed the Salmon Family Owners Board and appointed Douglas E. Singer and Jane P. Newton as its inaugural independent members.
The board was established to provide a forum for family owners to address ownership, governance, succession and long-term planning as the family-owned senior living and health care organization moves into its third generation of leadership. The board is separate from the company’s management team, which remains responsible for SALMON’s operations.
Singer has experience in governance, estate planning, closely held businesses, board leadership and organizational strategy. Newton has advised business owners, multigenerational families and corporate boards on strategic planning, leadership transitions, governance and long-term stewardship.
“Our leadership team is responsible for running SALMON, while the Salmon Family Owners Board is focused on something equally important: helping our family become stronger stewards of the business for generations to come,” said Andrew Salmon, chair of the Salmon Family Owners Board. “This board is about helping our family continue to become better stewards and better owners. It gives us a place to challenge each other’s thinking, stay aligned on the decisions that matter most and continue learning together. If we do that well, we give this company the best opportunity to thrive for the next 75 years.”
The independent members will contribute outside judgment and business experience to discussions involving ownership and long-term stewardship. They will not serve as the family’s legal, tax, investment, accounting or other retained professional advisers or replace the family’s existing advisers.
Founded in 1952, SALMON Health and Retirement is a family-owned provider of senior living, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, home health, hospice and related health care services throughout Massachusetts.
