The MedShare Global Humanitarian Award is given to organizations truly committed to expanding access to quality healthcare in medically underserved communities worldwide. The organization recognized Krevans in particular as someone who has a background in serving vulnerable communities, which has informed her leadership at Sutter Health and motivated the organization’s generosity to MedShare’s mission.

“Helping people in need is part of Sutter’s not-for-profit mission. We believe deeply in improving the quality of life of people and communities-locally and globally,” said Krevans. “I’m honored to accept this award on behalf of Sutter Health and our network’s physicians and employees, who inspire me daily with their dedication, compassion and generosity to support people around the world.”
