healthcare in the East County.
Meet Nadia
Raised in San Diego, and the daughter of a nutritionist and an immigrant engineer, Nadia is a healthcare attorney and advocate running to represent residents of the Casa de Oro, Chollas Creek, Del Cerro, Lake Murray, La Mesa, Mount Helix, Rolando Park, San Carlos, and Spring Valley communities of the Grossmont Healthcare District Zone 3. She is committed to improving the health of communities across East County.
Through representing healthcare clients in complex litigation and investigations across the country, Nadia has cultivated a deep knowledge of the healthcare industry. She has focused on protecting patients from high healthcare costs in the emergency setting where they are most vulnerable. She has advised hospitals in navigating state regulations, and represented the governing board of a major California university system in investigating and reporting on allegations of misconduct in the clinical health setting.
Devoted to public service, Nadia serves as a Vice Chair on the San Diego County Commission on the Status of Women and Girls, where she chairs the Policy Committee. She also serves on the boards of the San Diego Women’s Foundation, the Jewish Family Service of San Diego, and the Tariq Khamisa Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to creating safer schools and communities through teaching compassion, forgiveness, and peacemaking. Civically active, Nadia is a member of the Lawyers Club of San Diego and the San Diego chapter of the League of Women Voters. She has clerked for the U.S. District Court in California, supporting the court’s work during the pandemic.
Nadia is a proud graduate of San Diego public schools. She is also a graduate of Harvard University, where she studied Government and Neurobiology, and Harvard Law School, where she served low-income clients, including survivors of domestic violence and immigrant youth, through the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau. If elected, Nadia would be the only person with legal training on the Grossmont Healthcare District Board and its youngest member.
Nadia lives in Del Cerro with her husband, Raul Campillo, their son, Rafael, and their dog, Jojo. You can find them hiking at the Mission Trails Regional Park, enjoying Lake Murray, and cheering on the Padres and the San Diego Wave.

Organizations
What is the Grossmont Healthcare District?
The Grossmont Healthcare District is a public agency that supports community health and wellness programs and services for East County residents. The District is governed by a five-member board of directors, who are elected by residents of the District across 5 sub-districts known as “zones”.
Through an innovative public-private partnership that voters have extended through 2051, the District leases operations of its Sharp Grossmont Hospital property to Sharp HealthCare.
The District runs a community health and wellness library, funds local nonprofits through grants and sponsorships, invests in the region’s future generations through scholarships, and offers free wellness programs for residents.
