Top 100 Donors you know they have pain, and you encourage them to think about more pleasant things so they aren’t so focused on how much it hurts, ” says Dr. Peplowski. “You teach patients that everything in life isn’t bad. And you focus on helping them get back their connection to the world.”

Dr. Peplowski’s arrival at the State Compensation Insurance Fund caps a career in occupational medicine that began in California, after she completed her residency at the University of Southern California Medical Center in Los Angeles. From 1982 to 1990, she practiced occupational medicine at the defense contractor Lockheed Aeronautical Systems, headquartered in Burbank, California.
“My medical training was the biggest thing for me. I thought: wouldn’t it be wonderful to take what I have amassed, and perpetuate the experience for those who come behind me.” She had a private practice from 1991 to 1994, and then worked at Southern California Kaiser Permanente from 1994 to 2006, serving as the managed care consortium’s regional chief of occupational medicine. That post led her to the workers compensation arena, where she served as medical director of Zenith Insurance before moving to the State Fund in 2011. Dr. Peplowski says her work with the State Fund allows her to better integrate primary care and specialty care, and develop systems that bring wellness programs into the workplace.
