# Sarah Krevans Honored as Healthcare Leader and Diversity Champion

National Medical Fellowships honors Sutter Health CEO Sarah Krevans for advancing diversity and equity across healthcare and the workplace today.

March 8, 2020

[Sutter Health](http://www.sutterhealth.org/) President and CEO Sarah Krevans was honored as the recipient of [National Medical Fellowships](https://nmfonline.org/)’ (NMF) “Leadership in Healthcare Award” at its [2020 Bay Area Champions of Health Awards](https://nmfonline.org/event/2020bayarea/) on March 7, 2020.

In a letter to Krevans, Esther Dyer, NMF President & CEO wrote: “National Medical Fellowships holds these annual awards to support our scholarship programs and to honor those individuals who have made a lasting impact on healthcare and diversity in healthcare, as well as outstanding corporate leaders whose role and influence drives positive change in the business community and the communities they serve. Your visionary work as a healthcare leader and an advocate of advancing all backgrounds in the workplace, makes you a true champion in your field. You are someone our young scholars should emulate as professionals and individuals.”

Following her acceptance of the award, Krevans provided the event’s keynote address where she shared Sutter Health’s journey in diversity and inclusion, advancing [health equity](https://www.sutterhealth.org/about/health-equity), and the importance of partnering with patients and communities to improve access to quality care for the underserved.

The Northern California not-for-profit integrated health system cares for 3 million patients—or one in every 100 Americans, in one of the most diverse and innovative regions in the world. Krevans oversees Sutter Health’s 24 hospitals, 60,000 employees, 14,000 clinicians, outpatient services, research facilities, and home health and hospice care.
