News Story Detail

Sukhwinder “Sue” Bajwa, Esq., has been selected to serve as Vice President and General Counsel for NorthBay Health, effective Feb. 19, announced President and CEO Mark Behl.

“Sue is already a trusted and respected voice at NorthBay Health, coming from the legal and risk management side of the operation.” said Mark. “We welcome her insight and partnership as we grow and elevate NorthBay to new heights in the years to come.”

Bajwa joined NorthBay in March 2023 as an attorney for legal and risk management. In addition to providing legal counsel and advice to the organization, she has also been responsible for overseeing the professional and general liability litigation, managing the risk financing programs for the system and meeting other legal objectives to minimize risk. 

Bajwa earned a bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of the Pacific and her Juris Doctorate from McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento.  For the last 20-plus years, she was in private practice and a partner in a civil litigation firm in the East Bay, where her practice was focused on professional liability defense representing physicians, hospitals and other healthcare institutions throughout Northern California. 

As a long-time Solano County resident, Bajwa recognizes the important role that NorthBay plays in providing access to quality healthcare for the community, a factor she said was key in her decision to join NorthBay Health. 

It was the “NorthBay Way,” that convinced her to accept the role as general counsel.

“You can see it in the professionalism, dedication, compassion and genuine care shown by the NorthBay team,” she said. “It is truly an honor to join the leadership team for an organization whose work is so professionally meaningful.”
