Wagner selected for Sutter Health board
Updated 6:00 pm CST, Thursday, December 12, 2019
SACRAMENTO – Alton native Anthony "Tony" Wagner has been named to the Sutter Health Board of Directors.
The son of Clementine Nolan and Albert Irvin Wagner, he grew up in his Alton neighborhood surrounded by teachers. At 6 he began to learn to play the piano, serving 15 years as his church's organist. He attended Dunbar and Douglas Elementary Schools, Elijah P. Lovejoy Middle School, West Junior High School and Alton Senior High School — all segregated except for his senior high school.
He earned a bachelor's degree in zoology from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville and was drafted into the Army in 1966 where he served as a chaplain assistant and organist. He also conducted research on lizards he found in Vietnam and sent reports back to SIUE.
Wagner started his career as a pharmaceutical sales representative for the Upjohn Company. He then earned his masters degree in hospital and health care administration from the University of Minnesota, doing his residency at the University of California at San Francisco. He joined the Health Care Financing Administration and was there 15 years to become executive administrator of Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco, a post he held from 1988 to 1998.
From 1998 to 2001, Wagner was chief executive officer of Community Health Network of San Francisco. In 2001, she became chief executive officer of the Hospital Systems of the San Francisco Department of Public Health. In 2005, Wagner became the vice president of Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc.
He is a member of the Board of Directors of the Longs Drugs Stores Corp. and is vice president for the Institute on Aging. In addition to the Sutter Health Board of Directors, he is chairman of the board for Sutter Bay Hospitals and Sutter Bay Medical Foundation. He has been active in the California Hospital Association, the American Hospital Association, and the California Association of Public Hospitals. He served on the national board of the American Heart Association, as chair for that association's San Francisco chapter and Western States affiliate.
"I look forward to continuing my stewardship of Sutter Health's not-for-profit mission as we lead the transformation of healthcare, and as a continued champion of serving the diverse health needs of communities across Northern California," said Anthony Wagner, member of the Sutter Health Board of Directors.
Also named to the Sutter Health Board of Directors was Helen MacLead Thomson, a former California state lawmaker and registered nurse.
