Finding the Thread – Humanizing Healthcare Across a Career
Have you ever looked back on your career and tried to connect the dots?
For a long time, I thought my resume looked like a series of “rabbit holes” in healthcare—clinical care, academia, management consulting, strategy work, practice ownership. At the time, each move felt like simply saying “yes” to an opportunity.
But a recent conversation with a prospective client made me pause. They said, “I can see a common thread running through everything you’ve done.”
That led me to reflect on the last 13 years of my career… and I realized they were right.
The thread? Humanizing the healthcare experience.
In this episode, I share the story of discovering that throughline, what it means for me today, and why humanizing healthcare isn’t just a personal mission—it’s a necessity for our industry.
What We Cover in This Episode:
- The winding path of my career: from clinician to consultant to practice owner.
- How a client conversation sparked the realization of a unifying theme.
- Why “healthcare is a human experience” became more than a phrase—it became my mission.
- The risks of reducing patients to checklists, protocols, and data points.
- How technology and operations should be used: to create space for real human connection.
- A framework you can use to find your own “common thread.”
Why It Matters
Healthcare often gets lost in efficiency metrics, compliance checkboxes, and bottom lines. But patients—and clinicians—need meaning, connection, and human presence. By stepping back and asking what ties our careers and choices together, we can refocus on what really drives us and the work we do.
