About HealthHRx
Built for the Complexity of Healthcare HR
HealthHRx was founded on a simple conviction: healthcare organizations deserve HR consulting that truly understands their world — the regulatory environment, the workforce dynamics, the mission-driven culture, and the relentless pressure to do more with less.
Why HealthHRx Exists
Healthcare is unlike any other industry. The workforce is your most critical — and most costly — asset. The stakes are high, the complexity is real, and generic HR solutions rarely move the needle.
HealthHRx was built to fill that gap. We bring deep healthcare HR expertise together with the strategic rigor of top-tier consulting — delivering solutions that are both operationally grounded and strategically sound.
We work with hospitals, health-systems, and healthcare-adjacent organizations across the country. And while healthcare is our specialty, the principles that drive great HR strategy — clarity, alignment, accountability, and execution — apply everywhere. That's why we also partner with forward-thinking organizations outside healthcare who are ready to close the gap between talent and strategy.

Founder, HealthHRx
I started HealthHRx after spending more than two decades alongside healthcare leaders who were carrying a lot: caring for patients, supporting their teams, and keeping their organizations moving through constant change. I know the work is personal because the people decisions behind it are personal, too.
My career has included CHRO and senior HR leadership roles across hospitals, health systems, and healthcare-adjacent organizations. I have built HR functions, led talent transformations, supported mergers and integrations, and stepped into interim leadership when a steady hand mattered most.
HealthHRx is my way of bringing that experience to organizations that want a thoughtful, practical partner at the table. I help leaders make clear workforce decisions, build stronger teams, and create the conditions for people to do their best work — so their organizations can stay focused on delivering better care.

Our Philosophy
"The gap between talent and strategy is where organizations lose. We exist to close it."
Great HR strategy isn't about programs and policies — it's about aligning your people, your structure, and your culture to the work that matters most. When those three things are in sync, organizations don't just perform — they transform.

Every organization is different. We build solutions specific to your context, culture, and strategic priorities — not off-the-shelf programs.
