Ms. Schneider provides enterprisewide strategic and operational leadership for risk management, insurance strategy and regulatory compliance across a six-hospital health system and an expansive ambulatory network at UCI Health.

The program aims to embed risk awareness and patient safety ownership directly into clinical operations. Her leadership in proactive, systems-based approaches to patient safety has been recognized with formal acknowledgment from the University of California Office of the President and the American Society for Healthcare Risk Management, and she received the latter’s “Innovation in Patient Safety Award.” Ms. Schneider also serves on the American Society for Healthcare Risk Management advisory board and teaches as its faculty. Additionally, she’s a past president of the Southern California Association of Healthcare Risk Management. UCI Health has earned Leapfrog “Top Hospital” recognition and Vizient “Top Performer” status.
