Meet our Executive Team

Chief Executive Officer

Troy Vaughn joined the

Centro Medico Team in 2016

December 2016 Mr. Vaughn was appointed as the CEO of Centro Medico Community Clinic(CMCC).   Prior to coming to CMCC Mr. Vaughn served as COO for Southern California Medical Center in Van Nuys CA.  Throughout his 20+ year career, Mr. Vaughn has held a wide range of executive roles for several large non-profits in the Los Angeles area, including COO of Shields for Families, CPO for Lamp Community and Executive Director and Vice President of the Weingart Center for the Homeless.    Through these varied tenured roles, he has garnered the reputation of being a change agent, and the respect of his peers.  He has also been instrumental in the successful growth, innovation, branding and integration of key systems and program designs within the reentry, homeless and health sectors. Mr. Vaughn has developed permanent housing, social enterprises, and social services programs for families, TAY, veterans, formerly justice-involved individuals, substance abusers, mentally ill and the chronically homeless.   Mr. Vaughn is active professionally in local, state and federal initiatives for profit and non-profit organizations providing services to disenfranchised populations, including programs on institutional community systems analysis, and community and public relations.  He was recently invited to the White House to discuss the implementation of Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) in the greater Los Angeles area, and now serves on the Key Stakeholders Policy Committee that is required as part of LA County's LEAD grant submission to the Board of State Community Corrections (BSCC).  In October 2011, Mr. Vaughn was unanimously elected to serve as the only CBO/FBO Representative to the Public Safety Realignment Team.  Because he found community representation to be inadequate, Mr. Vaughn formed the Community Advisor Committee (CAC).  CAC is comprised of a group of 15 diverse non-profits from across the County to expand the voice and participation of Key Stakeholders serving formerly justice-involved individuals. Troy F. Vaughn is the Board Chair of the Los Angeles Regional Reentry Partnership (LARRP), a network of over 475 organizations throughout Los Angeles County.  LARRP is dedicated to creating viable housing and employment solutions and system-wide change for formerly justice-involved individuals.   In early 2016, Mr. Vaughn was appointed by Supervisor Ridley-Thomas to serve as the CBO Representative for Supervisorial District 2 on the Office of Diversion and Reentry’s (ODR) Permanent Steering Committee.  In this role, he has provided the ODR with strategic direction and counsel in the use of funds and the type of programs needed to serve the formerly justice-involved population.   In addition he serves as the County’s Vice-Chair for the Blue Ribbon Commission.  Mr. Vaughn is currently working with the Department of Health Services in designing and implementing their Whole Person Care Initiative.  In this role, Mr. Vaughn has fought to include the hiring of 128 formerly justice-involved men and women to serve as community Health Care Workers (HCWs).  The HCWs will act as navigators for people leaving custody, and will be key to their successful reintegration back into society.    Mr. Vaughn has an Executive J.D. from Concord Law School, M.B.A., and BS in Advanced Legal Studies from Kaplan University and BS in Business Administration from Cal State University of Los Angeles (CSULA).  He also holds a Graduate Certification in Executive Non-profit Management from CSULA, and Fundraising and Marketing from Cal State University of Long Beach (CSULB).  Mr. Vaughn also has a Masters in Divinity/Theology with a minor in Urban Planning from Kings Seminary in Van Nuys, California, and Doctorate in Theology from the Masters School of Divinity.   He is happily married with one son and  two grandchildren.  He and his wife live in Corona, California.
