A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO

With appreciation and joy, I welcome you to our Soul of Spring experience. We gather tonight to celebrate Spring, symbolizing beginnings, rebirth, and growth.

n the last four years, Alameda Health System (AHS) has served our community when they needed us the most. Your contributions have made that possible. Thanks to your generosity more than $5 million was raised for AHS programs and equipment during the current fiscal year. Every dollar matters. This has allowed us to provide quality care to some of Alameda County’s most vulnerable.

You have helped support Black maternal health efforts through BELovedBIRTH Black Centering. You’ve helped patients with serious illness and their families receive mindful and thoughtful care and support.

In addition, you’ve helped us strengthen and support our workforce through programs like HealthPATH that provides mentorship and career development for students from Oakland Unified School District, to supporting programs for physicians and staff to ensure that their health and wellness are priorities. From birth to end of life you have made a difference for our patients and staff.

We are grateful for our continued partnership. On behalf of AHS staff, physicians, and patients, I thank you for the numerous ways you support AHS.

Sincerely,

Regi began his career as a community organizer working to bring technology and economic resources to neighborhoods in Houston, TX.

He directed strategic community partnerships with a network of 1,500 organizations to provide the equivalent of 207 million meals across 18 counties, annually. He also supervised much of Houston Food Bank’s disaster preparedness and response efforts, for which the organization was recognized as a national leader. Regi oversaw the organizations diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

He also spent much of his tenure leading the organization’s critical Food for Change strategy to study the outcomes of hunger-relief efforts

on health and economic opportunity. Under Regi’s strategic leadership, Houston Food Bank increasingly leveraged data to investigate gaps and ensure the equitable access of food and other resources.

Regi is an advisory council member of the Root Cause Coalition and has previously served on the boards of the Center for Urban Transformation, Urban Harvest, and the advisory board of the City of Houston Mayor’s Office of Adult Literacy. He was also a founding member of the Houston Food System Collaborative, a group of individuals and organizations that facilitates the growth and accessibility of a sustainable local food system.

Regi attended Millsaps College in Jackson, MS where he received a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science, as well as the University of HoustonClear Lake where he received a Master of Arts in Cross-Cultural Studies. He is interested in the impact design can have in addressing social problems and is currently pursuing a doctorate in Organizational Leadership from Northeastern University. Regi lives in Oakland and enjoys exploring the East Bay food scene with family and friends.
