Folsom resident Linzy Davenport has been named to the board of directors for United Way California Capital Region.
Davenport is chief operating officer for Kaiser Permanente Sacramento Medical Center on Morse Avenue. She joined Kaiser in 2011 as a nurse manager in Roseville and has since served at several Kaiser facilities as clinical quality director, continuity of care services director, chief nurse executive and chief operating officer.
Davenport was one of only 22 nurse leaders chosen for the inaugural American Organization of Nurse Executive Fellowship and was selected for the inaugural Coldiron Senior Nurse Executive Fellowship at the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing at Case Western Reserve University in Ohio.
She was honored by the Sacramento Business Journal with a Women Who Mean Business designation and serves on the board of directors for Wind Youth Services in Sacramento. She holds a bachelor’s degree in nursing from Sacramento State, a master’s degree in integrated healthcare management from Western Governors University in Utah and a doctorate in nursing from UC San Francisco.
Davenport is one of five community leaders from across the region joining United Way’s board of directors this month.
“Strong communities depend on leaders who are willing to use their experience, influence and passion for service to create opportunities for others,” said Dr. Dawnté Early, president and CEO of United Way California Capital Region. “We are honored to welcome these accomplished leaders to our board of directors and look forward to the collective impact we can make together as we work to help every individual and family in our region thrive.”
United Way California Capital Region has been a presence across the region for more than 100 years, working to identify and respond to local needs. Its efforts range from advancing youth opportunities and helping children excel in school to strengthening communities and investing in families’ financial security and health.
Working across Amador, El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento and Yolo counties, the organization provides books and literacy tutoring, addresses housing and food security, leads the region’s largest tax preparation initiative, works with foster youth across school districts, launched the region’s first guaranteed income program and leads the Community Schools initiative in West Sacramento.
