Arguin Appointed CEO at Lathrop Community
October 18, 2023
NORTHAMPTON, MA — Lathrop Community has announced the appointment of Patrick Arguin as its new chief executive officer. Lathrop’s two campuses, in Northampton and Easthampton, are each 15-20 miles north of Springfield, Massachusetts, the birthplace of basketball.
Arguin brings nearly 20 years of professional experience to his new role; he started his career as a physical therapist and spent many years as a nursing home administrator (NHA). His most recent position was the NHA for Mary’s Meadow at Providence Place in Holyoke, Massachusetts, which provides both short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing. Under Arguin’s leadership, Mary’s Meadow at Providence Place achieved high-performing recognition in support categories, effective staffing, and best practices in resident safety.
“Patrick’s colleagues presented glowing endorsement of his character and work,” Board Chair Chuck Johnson declared via a press release. “We believe his background and education will serve well as the community looks toward the future.”
“Patrick is an engaging, personable, and professional individual with experience and perspective that will benefit Lathrop Community. I’m excited to work with him and pleased that he has accepted the position of CEO,” said Amy Harrison, CFO and Interim CEO of The Kendal Corporation. “His dedication to working with older adults in Massachusetts will allow him to quickly acclimate to Lathrop and residents’ distinct needs and desires.”
“I was attracted to both Lathrop’s environment and Kendal’s Values and Practices,” Arguin shared. “I’m excited for this next step in my professional journey and to work alongside a talented team to best support the needs of residents at Lathrop.”
