Angelico will receive the award at the Gala on April 12 at the Hyatt Regency, located at 601 Loyola Avenue in New Orleans, for his efforts and dedication to promoting healthy communities.
He is a native New Orleanian who attended Jesuit High School, Louisiana State University, and Loyola New Orleans Law School.

Angelico served on the Board of the New Orleans Speech & Hearing Center and was its chairman. He served as president of the Society of Louisiana Certified Public Accountants in 2010-2011. Since 2003, he’s been an active board member of DePaul Community Health Centers, formerly known as Daughters of Charity Services New Orleans.
“Ascension DePaul Foundation is excited to honor Bob Angelico with the Inspired Cross Award for his leadership and dedication to improving the community's overall health.” said Michael G. Griffin, MSPH, DSc, FACHE, president and CEO of DePaul Community Health Centers. “Bob has been on DCHC’s Board for more than 20 years and has consistently shown up to assist us in providing health care to all people.”
