Ms. Sprengel leads CommonSpirit’s vast California Region, which cares for one in every four Californians. With $12 billion in annual revenue, the California Region contributes $1 billion in charity care and community benefits each year. Bringing over two decades in healthcare leadership, Ms. Sprengel advances the clinical workforce with a focus on quality, safety and experience, and strengthens care delivery through sustainable growth initiatives. Her focus on improving population health includes managing one million lives as part of value-based care arrangements and utilizing a state-of-the-art transfer center to address repatriation that ensures the appropriate level of care is delivered. The region funded homeless service agencies such as Parking LA, giving people a secure place to sleep in their vehicles with access to restrooms. Five Medical Safe Haven clinics are staffed by family physicians trained in trauma-informed care for victims and survivors of human trafficking. A statewide food recovery partnership redirects surplus food from hospitals to community organizations, addressing food insecurity while combating climate change. A champion for equity and inclusion, Ms. Sprengel paved the way for Morehouse School of Medicine to expand graduate medical education for underrepresented clinicians in key California communities. She is the California Hospital Association 2026 board chair and a Charles R. Drew University School of Medicine and Science executive trustee.
