Sandy is the former president of the AAUW (American Association of University Women) and currently serves on the State Board of the ACHD (Association of California Health Care Districts). Sandy’s desire to serve on the CRMC Board has been her passion for keeping adequate healthcare in the region.

William Lewis, First Vice President

TERM: August 2017 – December 2018
Phone: 559-935-6562

William Lewis is a retired aerospace engineer from San Jose. He received his Bachelor of Science and Masters in mechanical engineering from the University of California at Berkeley. A native of the Bay area, upon retirement he moved to the Coalinga area because it was open, natural, and property values were affordable. William was approached to serve on the Board and has since November, 2008. William brings a fresh outlook and perspective since he is not native to this area.

William is on the Finance Committee and the Facilities Committee. He feels his background in mechanical engineering has been useful to the Board and to the Medical Center. He feels it is the duty of the Board to make wise decisions as they relate to the hospital and the community in general.

 


 

Catherine Underwood, Treasurer

Phone: 559-935-6562

Catherine Underwood is the office manager for Keenan Farms, Inc., one of the largest pistachio processors in the United States. She has held that position for 21 years and prior to that received on the job training as a full charge bookkeeper. She is a native of Valley Springs in Calaveras County.

Her interest in running for the Board stemmed from her philosophy that every citizen should contribute something back to their community. She has served on the Board twice. She believes that she brings basic common sense to the Board because of her accounting and human relations experience. She has the ability to look at issues from a business perspective, and wants what is best for the hospital rather than one particular group.

Catherine feels that having Coalinga Regional Medical Center means bringing quality medical care within a reasonable distance for the residents of the area. She feels the growing list of services means more diagnostics can be done without traveling out of the area or county.
