Jodi M. Sturgeon

President, Paraprofessional Healthcare Institute (PHI)

Jodi M. Sturgeon, president of PHI, is responsible for the organization’s programmatic and strategic direction, as well as its operations.

Under her leadership, PHI is promoting a strategic understanding of direct-care work as one of few growing employment opportunities for women in low-income communities. Jodi sees investing in training, support, fair compensation, and advancement for caregivers as not only a social justice issue, but as an essential step toward strengthening our nation’s fractured health care system.
