Carl Sotherland joins Strategy Office as Director of Healthcare Market Analytics and Strategic Insight

Chief Strategy Officer Ron Amodeo announced a new addition to his team that will help UC Davis Health better serve patients and prepare for the future. Carl Sotherland will begin May 3 as the new Director of Healthcare Market Analytics and Strategic Insight and will be responsible for providing valuable market research, analysis, and actionable insights to UC Davis Health.

The Strategy Office’s primary focus is the development and periodic refinement of the hospital system’s strategic plan, business development, and strategic project management. In his role, Sotherland will support strategic planning and clinical operations by providing market analysis and projections on future trends, personnel administration, professional development, and supportive services.

Previously, Sotherland spent more than 15 years at Sutter Health, where he led several key strategic efforts, including an enterprise-wide development and deployment of COVID-19 analytic capabilities that involved measurements, reporting, and analytics, all of which yielded optimal resource positioning in response to the crisis.

“Carl’s profound experience in strategic planning, targeted development, and analytic research will enable us to see the needs of the Northern California region and keep us at the helm of modern health care services,” said Amodeo.

“I’m extremely honored to be a part of the UC Davis Health family,” said Sotherland. “So many opportunities exist for this hospital system to grow and meet the needs of diverse communities in our region. I’m looking forward to working closely with a talented team dedicated to quality care, equity, and health throughout the communities that we serve.”
