COVINA, Calif., May 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Emanate Health‘s President and Chief Executive Officer Rob Curry was recognized by the Los Angeles Business Journal (LABJ) as one of the 500 most influential community and business leaders reshaping Los Angeles County in 2019. According to LABJ, this year’s LA500 feature players that have their vision, energy and resourcefulness on full display as they bring about changes to Los Angeles that run from the subtle to the seismic. This is first time that an executive leader from Emanate Health has been included in the prestigious annual list of influencers.
“Since Rob Curry joined our organization in 2008, he has led a remarkable transformation of the health system that has attracted the best physicians and staff to serve our population of one million people in the San Gabriel Valley,” said Gary Mathewson, chair of Emanate Health’s board of directors. “Rob’s recognition is an affirmation of the trust the board of directors had 11 years ago to have him lead us to positive change.

Curry is currently leading a $100 million effort to expand and modernize its facilities and systems to enhance the overall patient care.
