Dr. Darryl SextonDr. Darryl Sexton

Darryl M. Sexton, MD was elected to the National Board of Retirement Housing Foundation (RHF) in 1998.  In 1999, he began serving as the Chair of the newly established Corporate Compliance Committee at RHF, which started with a focus on healthcare but has since expanded to include all of RHF’s operations including Affordable Housing.  A related committee, of which Dr. Sexton also chaired, was formed to review Quality Assurance and Risk Management at RHF. Dr. Sexton served as a primary spokesman for high corporate ethics, quality resident care and support of the Corporate Compliance program.

Dr. Sexton received his medical training at Jefferson Medical College (Thomas Jefferson University), and completed residencies in Internal Medicine (Mercy Catholic Medical Center, Philadelphia, PA), and Occupational – Environmental Medicine (UCSF, San Francisco, CA). Prior to coming to Long Beach, Dr. Sexton worked in private practice in Internal Medicine in Northern California. Dr. Sexton then worked with the City of Long Beach for over 27 years as the City Health Officer and Occupational Health Service Director. During his tenure, he worked toward improving the health of city employees and the nearly one half million local residents.

In addition to RHF, Dr. Sexton served on several boards/professional organizations including LBMMC’s Children’s Dental Health Clinic, Long Beach American Diabetes Association, Long Beach – South East Harbor American Cancer Society, Sarcoidosis Network Foundation, and Long Beach branch NAACP as Health Chairperson.

Later in his life, Dr. Sexton became a resident at Bixby Knolls Towers where he remained until his passing on April 11, 2022.

RHF is extremely grateful for Dr. Sexton’s service to the board, the Corporate Compliance Committee, and RHF as a whole.  Accepting the award is Alice Sexton, Dr. Sexton’s wife and Chair of RHF’s Advisory Commission.
