Jamie Loschen
(Associate Director)
​
Jamie moved to Martha’s Vineyard in 2015 after completing her graduate studies in audiology in her home state of Colorado. She has worked as an audiologist in various clinical settings on Cape Cod and most recently worked as a Clinical Education Specialist for a hearing aid manufacturer. Her clinical work in audiology has given her extensive experience working with older adults and her work in clinical education has enhanced her love for education and technology. In her spare time, Jamie enjoys hiking, travel, going to the beach, and spending time with her dog Gordon.
“I’ve seen first hand the many challenges that our aging population face and am thrilled to have the opportunity to contribute to an organization that creates solutions that improve the quality of life for so many island residents!”
Ann Raymond
(Mobility Manager)
Ann Raymond first discovered Martha’s Vineyard as a teenager in the 1980s, when she spent her summers working at Robin’s Fudge and Candy to help pay for college. After graduation, she made the Island her home, raising a family and beginning what would become a lifelong career devoted to supporting older adults.
With more than 20 years of experience in the home care industry, Councils on Aging, consulting, and advocacy, Ann brings deep expertise and compassion to her work. Since returning to the Vineyard full-time three years ago, she has served as an advocate and outreach coordinator, helping connect older residents with essential services and resources. Her extensive background in transportation and mobility support makes her a natural fit for her new role as Mobility Manager at Healthy Aging Martha’s Vineyard.
Ann is delighted to continue serving the Island community she has long called home.
​
“I’m delighted to be part of Healthy Aging Martha’s Vineyard and passionate about helping older adults stay connected and independent. Access to reliable transportation opens the door to living a full and engaged life on the Island.”

I’m excited about having the opportunity to work at Healthy Aging and research the impact of volunteerism in the community. Healthy Aging is a vital and expanding nonprofit that continues to have a very positive effect on the lives of many older adults on the Island.

Diane has 30 years’ experience in nonprofit administration working on the Vineyard.

Diane lived on the Island for fifty years before moving to Westport, Massachusetts

Home Safety Modification Program and the many Islanders who will benefit.”
