The challenges of homelessness go far beyond lacking a place to call home - they include complex health needs, mental health struggles, and systemic barriers that prevent individuals from regaining stability. Organizations like National Healthcare and Housing Advisors (NHHA), Whole Person Care Clinic (WPCC), and Encompass Housing are working together to address these multifaceted issues through an innovative partnership that combines healthcare, housing, and wrap-around services.

Her distinguished career spans numerous executive-level positions across IPA’s/MSO’s, Medicare and Medi-Cal Health Plans, community-based organizations, and nonprofit organizations.
