Shelby T. Gonzales
Inova Partnership for Healthier Kids

For the past eight years, Shelby Gonzales has been the driving force behind the Inova Partnership for Healthier Kids’(PHK) work to enroll children from Northern Virginia in the state’s child health insurance programs. Shelby assures that PHK does it right, every time, and in every way. She is a leader in all of the right ways, having just the right mix of management skills, people skills and an infectious enthusiasm for her work.

The results of her creativity, dedication, and hard work speak for themselves: PHK has enrolled 6,619 children since 1999.

“Shelby is the perfect example of that which makes the ordinary extraordinary. She brings the “extra” to every task she undertakes. Her undaunted will and winning spirit make her a champion, always and forever.”
