Tiffany Victor-Castleberry DNP ’18, a health care leader with a vision, earned her Doctorate in Nursing in 2018 from UIC. She was drawn to UIC’s diversity and its mission to transform health care, which aligned with her devotion to patients.

At UIC, she learned the “get to yes” mantra for resolving conflicts, which fueled her passion for service.

During the pandemic, she accepted a position as the executive director of case management, social work, aging adult services and spiritual care at Stanford Medicine Health Care. In 2022, she made history by becoming the first African American woman to hold the position of vice president of population health and care management at Atrium Health Care, which is part of Advocate Health, the nation’s fifth-largest acute care provider in the nation.

Victor-Castleberry also celebrates her roles as a wife, mother, active member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and an alumni board member of several organizations, including the UIC Alumni Association. She is most proud of being recognized with the Beckers Hospital Review Award in 2023, which honors Black leaders for their dedication to the health care industry.

She remains committed to optimizing and supporting the highest level of care for patients. As she says, “I serve where I am needed.”
