Executive Director & CEO, Mission Neighborhood Health Center
Dr. Anna Robert leads Mission Neighborhood Health Center, one of the oldest continuously operating community health centers in San Francisco, founded in 1967 during the War on Poverty. A registered nurse with a Doctor of Public Health degree, Robert brings a rare combination of clinical frontline experience and public health systems thinking to FQHC leadership. Before joining MNHC in July 2023, she served as Director of Primary Care for the San Francisco Health Network, overseeing primary care delivery across the city's public health system. She serves on the San Francisco Community Clinic Consortium (SFCCC) board, working to strengthen the network of safety-net clinics in a city facing unprecedented budget cuts and clinic closures.
Robert represents the next generation of FQHC leadership: clinician-turned-executive who understands both bedside care and system-level strategy. Leading MNHC through the 2026 crisis convergence — San Francisco's $877M budget deficit, $17M in CBO cuts, Mayor Lurie's $40M DPH order — she is navigating the exact financial and political pressures that define this era. Her perspective from both inside the public health system (SF Health Network) and the community clinic world (MNHC) gives her unique insight into how safety-net providers can survive when both city and federal funding are under threat simultaneously.
