She retired recently from Dignity Health after 28 years of serving in a variety of roles.

“In her decades of shareholder advocacy ministry, Sr. Susan Vickers has led with a quiet, yet fierce determination to advocate for the greater good and a healthy environment for all. A pioneer in the field, she has championed issues before they were mainstream, and encouraged her health system and her religious community to be leaders in socially responsible investing. Her dedication to socially responsible investing will continue to guide and inspire the work of faith-based investors for years to come.”
