Ivers joined the non-profit organization,
Partners In Health (PIH) in 2003 as a clinical director as it began its collaboration with the Haitian government. She helped expand the organizations reach across Haiti from a three-room clinic to several new buildings including a clinic that contains examining rooms, a laboratory, a pharmacy, a small inpatient ward, and isolation rooms for TB patients. Following the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti, she was appointed Chief of Mission for PIH and subsequently led a major humanitarian and public health response, resulting in increased access to HIV and TB treatment. In recognition of her efforts in Haiti, Ivers was honored as the 2011 Distinguished Graduate for UCD Ivers later published a paper in 2015 showing that PIH's intervention and vaccine distribution slowed the spread of cholera in villages north of
Saint-Marc. From 2015 until 2017, she was a member of the executive leadership team at PIH responsible for global strategic implementation and served as a technical advisor to the
World Health Organization and the Haitian Ministry of Health. In 2019, Ivers was elected a Member of the
American Society for Clinical Investigation and was the recipient of the Leadership In Public Health Practice Award. During the
COVID-19 pandemic, Ivers and
Wilfredo Matias published an
op-ed "calling out fundamental weaknesses in the country's public health data systems, which are unable to capture accurate data on where, why and how the virus spreads in real time." She later urged the
Governor of Massachusetts,
Charlie Baker, to speed up the rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations. ==References==
