Sylvia Trujillo is a health care, innovation, and regulatory leader with a career spanning over 15 years. As the Executive Director of the California Telehealth Resource Center (CTRC), she drives initiatives to foster equitable and sustainable access to health care, especially among underserved and rural communities, leveraging digital modalities to drive system-level transformation. Nationally recognized for her contributions to advancing the adoption of evidence-based digital medicine, Sylvia’s expertise encompasses telehealth, eConsult, remote patient monitoring, and the burgeoning field of AI in healthcare—particularly in the areas of regulation, payment, and coverage.
Her commitment to health equity is evidenced by her work at OCHIN to advance policies to dismantle structural inequality in healthcare and the American Medical Association, where she crafted key strategies that culminated in a historic expansion of Medicare coverage for digital medicine modalities. Beyond her dedication to advancing digital health policies, Sylvia continues to be a thought leader on sustainable alternative payment models for providers in underserved communities (including through the use of digital modalities) and ensuring that the right patients receive the right care at the right time.
