Julie Panek Anderson

Julie Panek Anderson joins Cambia Grove, a health care-focused innovation hub, as its new assistant director of programming.

In this role, Julie will lead the creation and implementation of the new CIC (Convene – Identify – Catalyze) Solutions Series. This series is built upon the idea that the community has all the right ingredients to solve big system-wide health care challenges. CIC (Convene – Identify – Catalyze) will convene partners around topics, identify system level barriers and catalyze solutions as a community to overcome identified barriers. The first topic of the year for this series will focus on data.

Julie comes to us from Blue Shield of California, where she spent 5 years driving cross-organizational collaboration as part of the Accountable Care Organization (ACO) program. As Senior Manager of the ACO Program Development and Innovation team, she drove multi-disciplinary efforts to build transformative new care models and better enable the ACO network through improvements in technology enablement and team-based care.

Prior to joining Blue Shield, Julie managed process improvement work for Stanford Hospital, where she led Lean/Six Sigma initiatives across the health system. She began her health care career more than 10 years ago in hospital financial consulting, leading project teams through engagements with academic and multi-facility medical centers across the West Coast.

Julie received a Masters degree in Public Health from Johns Hopkins (concentrating in Health Systems and Policy with a certificate in Finance and Management).
