“I am honored to serve as the 2022 Chair of the SCV Chamber Board of Directors and look forward to continuing the momentum of my predecessors who have helped to transform and strengthen our chamber,” Raigosa said.  “The SCV Chamber is the ‘Voice of Business’ in the Santa Clarita Valley and we’re excited to continue expansion of the chamber’s benefits, advocacy work and business education and connections.”

Raigosa is a physician who grew up in the San Gabriel Valley and currently serves as the assistant area medical director and physician marketing leader at the Kaiser Permanente Panorama City Medical Center in the San Fernando Valley, according to the SCV Chamber.

The doctor works with sales and account management staff to create better health outcomes for employees, said a statement by the SCV Chamber.

Through his philanthropic work, Raigosa supports local businesses and non-profit organizations, SCV Chamber representatives said.

He is also active, competing in marathons and triathlons, according to the SCV Chamber.

Raigosa earned his bachelor’s in physiological science from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), then earned his medical degree from UCLA’s school of medicine, according to a statement from SCV Chamber.

He then completed his residency training at the Santa Monica UCLA Family Medicine Residency, representatives with SCV Chamber said.

“I am pleased to pass the gavel over to Dr. Raigosa to serve as Chair of the Board next year,” Vance said.  “This past year, the Chamber has seen tremendous growth and Dr. Raigosa is the perfect fit to lead the Chamber to the next level. I look forward to being a part of the success he will bring.”
