Estes Park Health Announces the Interim Chief Financial Officer
Estes Park Health officially announced today the appointment of Pamela Serbin-Olson as the Interim Chief Financial Officer. Aysha Douglas, the previous CFO who started at EPH in 2022, resigned from her position in late July.
Serbin-Olson, who has been with Estes Park Health since late 2023, started as an administrative assistant but quickly moved into the role of Controller for the critical access hospital.
Selected by her peers as Employee of the Quarter for the first quarter of 2025, Serbin-Olson has a reputation for stepping up whenever extra help is needed.
“Joining the hospital has provided a lot of opportunity for sharing my skills and interests in a variety of areas.” said Serbin-Olson. “The main priority right now is to ensure a smooth transition to UCHealth,”
Prior to working at the hospital, Serbin-Olson worked at the Estes Valley Recreation and Park District for four years. She started as their Aquatics Manager – fitness is another passion of this active Missouri native – and moved into the position of Finance Director in less than a year.
Before moving to Colorado, Serbin-Olson worked in banking in Missouri.
Serbin-Olson started as an engineering major at the University of Missouri-Columbia before realizing that her passion for numbers was better served in a finance capacity. She switched her major to finance and banking; she hasn’t looked back.
After undergraduate school, Serbin-Olson completed a master’s degree in accounting at Colorado State University Global.
“I was the kid that ate M&Ms after sorting them by color,” said Serbin-Olson. “I had the cleanest room growing up. I just love to be organized, so a career organizing numbers felt natural.”
A local resident of Estes Park for six years, Serbin-Olson said the love of the mountains are what brought her and her husband to the area.
In addition to crunching numbers and organizing data, Serbin-Olson also likes to hike. Climbing many of the mountains in Rocky Mountain National Park keeps her busy on the weekends.
“The Keyhole Route on Longs Peak still eludes me,” said Serbin when asked about her favorite hikes. “I am not sure I will ever accomplish that difficult challenge. I love Flattop and Twin Sisters, but the Keyhole is the one on top of my wish list.”
In addition to hiking, Serbin-Olson spends much of her time with her husband golfing and enjoying the garden at their new home in Estes Park.
Serbin-Olson will continue to fill the role of Interim Chief Financial Officer through the transition of Estes Park Health to UCHealth Estes Valley Medical Center. Although her title may change after the closing, she has demonstrated a strong business mindset that will continue to take her far in the larger organization.
