Sutter Surgery Center Division Team

As CEO of SSCD, Terry leads a team responsible for the formation, acquisition and management of Sutter-affiliated ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and surgical hospitals. Since she joined the Division in 2017, the California Ambulatory Surgery Center Association has awarded 11 of 15 of its annual awards to Sutter-affiliated ASCs.

Terry believes strongly in the importance of setting shared goals and using them as a guideline and ethical compass for organizational action. SSCD and SWC teams regularly check in with one another—to share challenges, triumphs, and kudos—and discuss how they align with their shared value system.

In her work as CEO of SWC, Terry has overseen the growth of Sutter’s walk-in clinics to 25 locations throughout Northern California,* and the expansion of telehealth visits—a virtual alternative to in-person doctor visits.

Terry previously served as CEO of Sutter Health’s Eden Medical Center. As CEO, she oversaw a 130-bed acute care hospital with 1,250 employees and 550 medical staff. She directed Eden’s effort to become the Sutter Health East Bay Neuroscience Hub, a highly respected Level II Trauma Center, and one of the safest hospitals in the country.

Prior to working at Eden Medical Center, Terry served as CEO of Sutter Solano Medical Center. She was deputy chief operating officer at Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, and chief nursing officer/chief operating officer at South Valley Hospital in Gilroy.

Terry earned her bachelor’s degree in nursing and an MBA from University of Phoenix. She is a graduate of the San Jose Hospital School of Nursing Diploma Program. Terry is certified in Lean Systems and has completed Sutter Health’s Management and Clinical Excellence program.
