Vice President, Mission Integration and Spiritual Care, Adventist HealthCare
Ann Roda likes to describe her life as one long adventure with God. She began her career as a registered nurse in OB and health care administration. Then, God unexpectedly redirected her path to the Adventist Theological Seminary, for an MDiv, and into pastoral ministry. She spent 15 years as a church pastor in Atlanta, Georgia and Fulton, Maryland. Seven years ago, God had another adventure for Ann, and called her back into health care ministry, serving with Adventist HealthCare as Vice President for Mission and Spiritual Care. This position is the perfect combination of both pastoral ministry and health care.
Ann is married to Jose Hernandez, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. Ann and her husband enjoy hiking, biking, and traveling. You can always find them anywhere that serves chocolate pastries.
