Crafting a Career Roadmap with Teal Heath

Teal brings over twenty-five years of clinical, operational, business, and technical expertise in healthcare. She is a Registered Nurse (RN), a Six Sigma Green Belt, is Program and Portfolio Management Mastery certified, is Project Management Professional (PMP) certified. Teal has a Bachelor of Science and Nursing (BSN) degree, a Master of Computer Resources and Information Management degree, and is distinguished as a Fellow in the American College of Healthcare Executives (FACHE). She obtained her teaching certificate from Colorado Technical University, where she translated her healthcare experience in the classroom as Adjunct Faculty instructing undergraduate and graduate-level students in healthcare, IT, and project management.

Her former roles include Vice President of the corporate Enterprise Project Management Office (EPMO) and Director of IT Project Management Office (PMO) for one of Colorado’s largest healthcare organizations. Utilizing that education/experience triad, she continues to lead multiple multi-million-dollar, high complexity, high visibility healthcare IT projects across the United States. Most of which are large-scale hospital construction projects where she excels at managing liaisons at the executive to unit coordinator levels. Teal is passionate about healthcare leadership and digital technology transformation.

Teal's illustrious career is something to be proud of and admired by others. How exactly did she get to where she is today? Teal talks to us about crafting a career roadmap and much more on this week's installment of The Everyday PM Podcast.
