Lisa Fuerst

Chair of the Board of EmanateHealth Foundation

& Fuerst Family Foundation

Lisa Fuerst is a visionary philanthropic and business leader known for her impactful work across healthcare, education, and community advocacy in Southern California. She currently serves as the influential Chair of the Board of Directors for the EmanateHealth Foundation, which is dedicated to raising funds and awareness to sustain and advance the mission of Emanate Health, a leading non-profit health care system in the San Gabriel Valley. Her leadership is critical in the Foundation's efforts to enhance patient care, invest in state-of-the-art technology, and improve health outcomes for over one million area residents.

Driven by a deeply personal commitment to giving back, Lisa is also a driving force behind the Fuerst Family Foundation. The Foundation operates on the core belief that progress happens through education and aims to provide opportunities for those who have historically been marginalized. Their charitable efforts are focused on three key pillars: financial support for college education, providing companionship and care for the elderly, and creating a safe and loving environment for disadvantaged children.

Lisa's unique perspective and entrepreneurial drive stem from her professional career, where she is the Vice President of Success Education Colleges (SEC), a system of allied health career colleges. As an alumna of North-West College (an SEC institution), Lisa's own journey from a young woman struggling to afford education to a successful businesswoman and executive informs her passion for uplifting others. Her experience as an Hispanic businesswoman in the regional health care industry gives her a powerful voice and connection to the diverse communities served by both her business and philanthropic organizations.
