ALICE ISSAI
President
Adventist Health Glendale
Adventist Health Glendale continues to excel under the leadership of Alice Issai. In 2018, she took the helm of Adventist Health’s flagship campus – the largest of the system’s 22 hospitals. Since then, Adventist Health Glendale has earned continuous 5-star ratings from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, scored 16 consecutive ‘A’ ratings from the Leapfrog Group, and garnered national acclaim for its repeated ranking among the top 5% of America’s best hospitals according to Healthgrades.
Issai is the first woman to lead the 515-bed hospital. Her vision is to continue growing as a true tertiary center for cardiac, pulmonary, neurology and stroke care, and many surgical subspecialties, offering state-of-the-art treatment and highly specialized care for patients across Southern California. Issai previously served as chief operating officer at three major medical centers: Keck Medical Center of USC (Keck Hospital of USC + USC Norris Cancer Hospital), UC Irvine Health, and Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles Medical Center.
