The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors appointed Roth to the post on Jan. 30. She will earn an annual salary of $353,118 plus medical and retirement benefits.

“Anna is a seasoned health services executive working in CCHS for nearly 25 years and we look forward to her leadership in addressing the many issues facing the health department in the coming years,” said Contra Costa County Administrator David Twa.

For nine years, Roth served as chief executive officer of Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers. She has a master’s degree in public health from Harvard University and a second master’s degree from University of California San Francisco.

Roth is a former Institute for Healthcare Improvement fellow and served on the boards of the Essential Hospitals Institute and the California Health Care Safety Net Institute. She is also a lecturer at the UC Berkeley School of Public Health.


Contra Costa Health Services provides medical care, substance abuse treatment and mental health care.

The department, which employs 4,400 people and has an annual $1.8 billion budget, also runs public health programs, oversees environmental health protection and hazardous materials response and inspection and manages the Contra Costa Health Plan, the county’s health maintenance organization.
