EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT

Erika Sepulveda, CPHW 
This month, we’re excited to spotlight an incredible team member whose dedication, positivity, and exceptional work ethic inspire us all. Her contributions consistently go above and beyond, making a lasting impact on both our team and the company as a whole.

An Interview with Erika Sepulveda
What’s something that people may not know about you, either professionally or personally, that you'd like to share?
Something people might not know about me is that beyond my professional experience, I’m deeply passionate about the emotional well-being of pregnant women. While I’ve spent over 20 years in this field, I’ve also dedicated much of my personal time to educating myself in health in pregnancy. I believe the emotional journey is just as important as the physical one, and I’ve seen firsthand how supporting mental health during pregnancy can lead to healthier, more positive outcomes for both moms and babies. Outside of work, I decided to perdue my education in psychology and by next year I would love to continue in the medical field helping mothers here at Unicare Community Health Center, Inc.

How do you stay motivated and balanced in your work? Do you have any personal routines or habits that help you succeed?

Staying motivated and balanced in work, especially in a field like healthcare, can be challenging, but there are several strategies that can help maintain both motivation and well- being. As for me I loved what been doing for more than 20 years and everyday it motivates me more and more to help Pregnant Moms in their pregnancy journey. Every day, I remind myself why I do what I do. Whether it’s thinking about the pregnant mothers I’m supporting or reflecting on the
progress I’ve seen over the years, starting my day with a clear sense of purpose helps keep me focused and motivated. It’s important to stay connected to the emotional side of your work. Taking time to listen and truly understand the concerns of each mother allows me to build strong relationships and provide better care.

What’s been one of the most memorable moments during your time with Unicare?

My most memorable moments often involve moments of team collaboration, delivering exceptional service to clients, and seeing the impact of their work in this community. One of my most memorable moments at Unicare often involves moments of team collaboration. There was one instance where our team came together to deliver exceptional service to a client. It wasn’t just about providing medical care, but about offering emotional support, understanding, and a sense of community.

Knowing that we were able to improve their quality of life and be part of it.
