Ms. Hozouri has served as corporate vice president of supply chain at Scripps Health for 15 years, leading contracting, supply chain systems, purchasing, clinical value analysis and logistics operations across five hospitals and 30 outpatient centers.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, she guided the organization through critical shortages by collaborating with clinicians to identify and implement effective substitutions. Recognized as one of Reuters‘ “20 Trailblazing Women in Supply Chain” in 2024, Ms. Hozouri has also earned multiple national supply chain awards for the system, including the Global Healthcare Exchange “Supply Chain of Distinction” award for 2023 and 2024.
