UC Davis Health System recently received a “Negocios con
Corazon” (Businesses with Heart) award from the Sacramento
Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (SHCC).
The award, recognizing businesses and non-profit
organizations making a positive difference in the community
and helping to create a strong local economy, was announced
last month at the SHCC’s 34th annual Business Awards and
Recognition Banquet in Sacramento.
Claire Pomeroy, UC Davis vice chancellor for Human Health
Sciences and dean of the School of Medicine, accepted the
award on behalf of the system.
“UC Davis Health System is committed to continue serving
the health-care needs of our community and serving as an
engine for economic growth in the Sacramento region,” Pomeroy
said in accepting the award.
Attending the banquet to see the bestowing of the award
were Nancy Zarenda, chair of the health system’s Community
Advisory Board; Shelton Duruisseau, Senior Associate Director,
Hospital & Clinics, and Executive Associate Director,
External Affairs; and Sergio Aguilar-Gaxiola, director of the
Center for Reducing Healthcare Disparities.
Over the past 34 years, the SHCC has recognized outstanding
businesses, business men and women, and non-profit
organizations that are making a difference in the community.
This year, the SHCC focused on businesses and organizations
with a commitment to promoting a healthier lifestyle.
