Ms. Issai was appointed as president of Adventist Health’s Southern California network in 2026, a role that entails the oversight of four hospitals. Prior, she was the first woman to serve as president of Adventist Glendale. She took on that role in 2018, growing the medical center into a true tertiary center, creating a hub for “destination medicine” with world-class services in oncology, cardiovascular medicine, neurosciences, orthopedics and more. She also oversaw expanded access to care for the hospital’s core service lines, including its comprehensive cancer services. She is dedicated to innovation and the transformation of community health, a mindset she carried into her new role as she continues to grow medical services throughout the network.
