Cristina Sprague, RN, FNP, Director of Operations

Cristina Sprague joined the South of Market Health Center in 1990 and has worked as a nursing supervisor, a nurse practitioner, and currently holds the position of Director of Clinic Operations. Before joining South of Market Health Center she worked in various clinical settings at hospitals and elder care facilities. She is licensed as both a Registered Nurse and Family Nurse Practitioner, which means she has received special training and can perform many of the duties of a physician.

Cristina attended the Philippines Women’s University, California State University Long Beach, and Harbor UCLA Medical Center, where she received her training as a nurse practitioner. In her present capacity Cristina is directly responsible to the Medical Director for day-to-day management, including clinic and administrative support services. Her duties also include oversight for special programs, emergency preparedness, OSHA, and quality assurance. As a real proponent of community-based services, she maintains an active involvement in organizing community outreach programs for the South of Market Area.

In her spare time Cristina enjoys spending time with her husband and her two beautiful daughters.
