Health Plan of San Joaquin announces new director of Financial Planning & Analysis
(French Camp, CA) – Health Plan of San Joaquin (HPSJ) has announced that Kay Andora has joined HPSJ as the director of financial planning and analysis. She comes to HPSJ as a leader who has designed and implemented administrative cost savings and process improvements that make it possible for health care organizations to focus resources on quality care, remain viable and improve health and wellness outcomes for members and communities.
