Angelika has proudly worked for Sutter Health since 2004 and is a Community Health Director for the External Affairs department in the Greater Sacramento Division, where she is responsible for managing community partnerships in Yolo, Amador, Placer, Sacramento, Yuba, and Sutter counties.
Her previous work experience includes managing Sutter Health’s sponsorship process, employee volunteer campaigns, community benefit reporting and budgets. In her current role, Angelika helps implement and manage multiple community benefit programs, some of which have been adopted as best practices across Sutter’s footprint, such as the award-winning children wellness program, Fit Quest. In addition, she has fostered the growth of many community partnerships and created strategic investments designed to address priority health needs for vulnerable populations, including lack of access to primary, preventive, and mental health care for the underserved, food insecurity, issues related to homelessness, and gaps in wellness and education for children and families.
Currently, Angelika is a board member of Yolo County Children’s Alliance and Yuba Sutter Healthcare Council. In 2014 she was awarded a lifetime membership to the Inspire Giving Committee in recognition of her commitment to serving the community.
