As Executive Director of California Coverage & Health Initiatives (CCHI), Alexis Heaton leads a statewide network dedicated to improving the health and well-being of Californians by supporting member organizations in meeting the needs of their communities.

Alexis is deeply committed to supporting and uplifting the voices of CCHI’s member organizations—those who understand their communities best and are uniquely equipped to advocate for their needs. Her leadership is rooted in collaboration, compassion, and the belief that meaningful change begins in community.

Outside of her work, Alexis finds joy and balance in her home life. She and her husband of nearly ten years share their lives with four beloved rescue dogs, and she is passionate about animal rescue and rehabilitation. When she isn’t working or walking her dogs, you can often find her baking something new to share with family and friends.
