2025 Keynote Speaker
Dr. Mark Ghaly
Dr. Mark Ghaly was appointed Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency in early 2019 by Governor Gavin Newsom and recently stepped down after nearly 6 years of service. In serving California, Dr. Ghaly had the privilege of working with partners across diverse sectors and disciplines to improve the lives and life chances of ALL Californians. This was especially true during our response to the COVID-19 Pandemic but spanned his entire tenure. Dr. Ghaly’s experience as a community-oriented, primary care pediatrician allowed him and his team to work across California’s health care and social services safety net systems, to promote and advance a whole person, whole community, approach to integrating services. He and his team worked to ensure that CalHHS services and programs are equity-anchored and person-centered for ALL, but especially the most vulnerable Californians. Dr. Ghaly holds the deep belief that together our collective efforts can not only serve Californians well today but set us on a path where ALL Californians have a brighter and healthier future.
