Rafael Malpica
Director, Hospital Programs & Outreach, Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital & Condell Medical Center
Rafael was born in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico and moved to Illinois with his family around the age of 12. A PK – Pastor’s Kid – it was his father’s work with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America’s (ELCA) Global Missions department that led the family to relocate. His father, whom he shares a name with, has led the ELCA Global Mission for over 20 years. His ties to the church continue to grow as his brother, Felix Malpica, was recently elected as the Bishop of the Lacrosse, WI Synod of the ELCA.
