Ms. Hozouri oversees contracting, supply chain systems, purchasing, clinical value analysis and logistics operations across Scripps Health’s five hospitals and more than 30 outpatient centers and clinics. She led the transformation of Scripps’ supply chain from a siloed, site-based model into a centralized, systemwide operation, a redesign that required building trust across long-established local operations and creating standardized processes to improve service and coordination. Ms. Hozouri has also built a physician-partnered clinical value analysis model in which physicians and clinicians directly evaluate evidence and current practice patterns to reduce unnecessary cost and unwarranted variation in products. In 2026, she was named “Contracting Professional of the Year” by the Journal of Healthcare Contracting, and in 2024 Reuters recognized her among “20 Trailblazing Women in Supply Chain.” Ms. Hozouri has also earned Global Healthcare Exchange’s “Supply Chain of Distinction Award” in 2023 and 2024, as well as its “Millennium Club” recognition in 2024 and 2025. In addition, she was named to Supply Chain Digital‘s “Top 100 Women in Supply Chain” and “Top 100 Chief Supply Chain Officers” lists in 2023. Under her leadership, Scripps Health ranked among Gartner’s “Top 25 Healthcare Supply Chains” in the country from 2017 through 2023.
