Ms. Gillespie is a healthcare leader with more than 20 years of experience spanning clinical care, hospital operations and executive leadership. Her leadership of Sutter Medical Center, Sacramento builds upon the hospital’s strong record of national recognition for clinical excellence and access. Most recently, Sutter Medical Center earned multiple national distinctions from Healthgrades, including ranking No. 4 in California for gastrointestinal surgery and recognition as one of “America’s 100 Best Hospitals” for multiple specialty areas. Ms. Gillespie also continues to strengthen the longstanding commitment to patient safety, which earned the hospital an “A” hospital safety grade from The Leapfrog Group last year. She is overseeing a $100 million investment in Sutter Medical Center to transform 43,320 square feet of space into a 12-bed intensive care unit and 30 medical-surgical rooms for adult patients, expected to open later this year.
