LOMA LINDA >> Loma Linda University Health Senior Vice President (SVP) of Finance Angela Lalas has been recognized as one of 2016’s “150 Hospital and Health System CFOs to Know” by Becker’s Hospital Review. Becker’s Hospital Review, a leading publication highlighting business, legal news, and analysis for the hospital industry, recognized in its latest issue the top financial leaders of hospitals and health systems across the country. “These fiscal-minded leaders help their organizations navigate the challenging changes in healthcare reimbursement and keep the ship afloat in a time of financial uncertainty for many,” Becker’s Hospital Review said in a statement. “Becker's Hospital Review previously published versions of this list in 2011, 2013, 2014, and 2015," the statement said. "Leaders were selected for this list based on editorial research and discretion. Nominations were also considered when making selections for this list. The list featured financial leaders from the country's prominent for—and nonprofit hospitals and health systems." “Having our Senior Vice President of Finance be recognized as one of ‘150 Hospital and Health System CFOs to Know’ is a point-of-pride for our institution,” said Dr. Richard Hart, president of Loma Linda University Health. “Angela truly exemplifies leadership, compassion, and professionalism in everything she does. In these times of financial challenges and uncertainty in the health care environment, we are blessed to have her leadership." Kerry Heinrich, CEO, Loma Linda University Medical Center and Executive Vice President of Hospital Affairs for Loma Linda University Health said, “I want to extend my personal congratulations to Angela for having received this honor. Angela’s leadership and commitment to this organization has been exemplary and she is an invaluable asset.” “I am deeply honored by this recognition, because I believe this is a testament to the commitment and team work of everyone at Loma Linda University Health to provide fiscally responsible world-class care, education, and research,” Lalas said. In her current role as SVP of Finance for Loma Linda University Health, Lalas oversees financial operations for the six hospitals within the system, including analysis and reporting for the Loma Linda University Medical Center and its affiliates. Before taking on her current role in 2015, she was Vice President of Finance of the system. Lalas earned her MBA from Claremont Graduate University and her undergraduate degree in Accountancy from the Adventist University of the Philippines, and is a licensed CPA in California. Lalas is married to Serafin T. Lalas, Jr., MD, and they have two children, Anna Sophia and Serafin Alexander III. The family lives in Loma Linda.
