Dr. Echiverri is a first generation, queer woman of color raised in Inglewood, CA, where her spirit of advocacy and roots in equity originated from witnessing her parents’ sacrifices as Filipino immigrants. She is a family and community medicine physician practicing primary care at the North Richmond Center for Health, and a core faculty member of the Contra Costa Family Medicine Residency Program where she leads the program’s work around Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Anti-racism/Anti-oppression (DEIA). She has worked on addressing health inequities in historically marginalized and systemically excluded communities in various capacities, including developing pediatric literacy programs at the Venice Family Clinic, conducting research on health inequities at Charles R. Drew University, creating policy briefs and building coalitions around health workforce diversity at The Greenlining Institute and the California Health Professions Consortium, and mentoring young people as part of health career pipeline programs. She completed her undergraduate studies at UCLA with a double major in Latin American Studies and Psychobiology, and a Master of Public Health degree at Johns Hopkins focused on social behavioral sciences. Angela is a proud alumnus of the UCSF School of Medicine’s Program in Medical Education for the Urban Underserved (PRIME-US), where she co-led an initiative with other student leaders and faculty to increase campus-wide diversity, institute the campus’ Multicultural Resource Center, a safe space for diverse faculty, student, and staff, and the naming of UCSF’s first Vice Chancellor for Diversity and Outreach with Dr. Renee Navarro in that inaugural role. She completed her residency training in Family and Community Medicine at UCSF/San Francisco General Hospital. She serves as a Senior Fellow for the Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity, where she has focused her efforts on strengthening health career pathway programs in collaboration with community partners in Richmond, CA and across Contra Costa County.

Angela is passionate about sustainable community collaboration, strengthening health career pathways, expanding opportunities for young people, recruiting and retaining a diverse health workforce, doing the critical learning and unlearning on our collective journey towards anti-racism, and cultivating spaces of belonging. She enjoys exploring Bay Area and Los Angeles neighborhoods and their local arts and food scene; works to disrupt racism and advocates for equity and justice; appreciates and supports local artists; loves ice cream; and finds joy in spending time with her family and her partner.
