Gaby Alcala – Coach, Consultant & Creator of “Align: Know Who You Are and Live by Your Values” will lead this free, interactive session addressing what underlying factors drive you in your life and career. In this session, we’ll slow down to reconnect with what really drives you.
What an incredible evening at UMass Boston, where we were able to observe a beautiful sunset, enjoy a fabulous dinner and network with peers and learn from several incredibly talented women in the healthcare space.
It was an honor to host Suzy, Catherine and Gaby as our panel addressing healthcare consulting. Each of these role models talked through their experience in becoming a consultant, driving change, and female entrepreneurship. The common theme, though each presenter had a unique focus, included the importance of relationship-building, confidence and resiliency. Their skill, grit and willingness to be learners definitely resonated with our audience and led to an incredibly interactive question and answer session.
Christie Hager covered her “zigzagged” career path through public service and healthcare, ultimately leading to her law degree focused upon health policy. Listening to Christie, she was instrumental in healthcare policy development, and we are grateful for her continued service to an important cause.
Both discussions had the attention of attendees, and the opportunity to speak with them in a warm, intimate setting set the stage for network development, contact information exchanges, and partnerships.
A HUGE thank you to the Board of Women in Healthcare management (Jayne, Tanya, Debbie and Rachel) for your relentless pursuit of creating these valuable opportunities for women in healthcare, helping further build the future of our industry!

Don’t miss the WHCM Fall Forum! Join us for networking, dinner, and presentations with Q&A on careers in healthcare consulting (panel) and health policy.
Our June 2, Spring Patio networking event brought with it some unseemly cool weather at Jake and Joe’s in Waltham. Nevertheless, the entire group warmed up the evening with great conversations, introductions and new connections! The night rang true with our personal passion, understanding and mission at Women in Healthcare Management:
By exchanging ideas and experiences, women can learn to successfully navigate career transitions, leadership roles, and unexpected challenges that are inherently part of the healthcare environment.
We are so incredibly grateful to our members and attendees for enjoying a great night of food, conversation, sharing ideas, and getting updated headshots completed to round out your portfolios!
We look forward to seeing you soon, as we finalize details for our Fall Forum!

Join us upstairs on the second floor at WHCM member favorite location Paddy’s Public House. We’ll be gathering after the busy holiday season to network and chat in an informal atmosphere. Foster meaningful connections through wide-ranging discussions – we’ll even bring the Table Talk cards to help spark discussions. Appetizers and a cash bar round out this festive affair. We hope to see you there!
We are pleased to welcome Gaby back for a second webinar building off her informative introduction to consulting she offered our members earlier this year! Building on what we learned in April, attendees can expect information on:
Recent Engagements: examples of consulting projects highlighting challenges, strategies, and outcomes.
Client Management: Techniques for building strong relationships, effective communication, and handling difficult situations.
Support Tools: Overview of project management tools and AI integration to enhance efficiency.
Continuous Improvement: Strategies for staying relevant in a constantly evolving industry.
The weather could not have been better, the company could not have been more engaged, and the food was fantastic!

What a great night in Manchester, NH on Monday 4/15- we were lucky enough to have many of our board members “cross the border” from Massachusetts to try a new venue up North.
A huge thank you to the Backyard Brewery for providing great food and drinks to our group!
It never ceases to amaze me the things I learn from our members and guests, the conversations that we start and the information that we share. Such a relaxing evening with new connections made.
Looking ahead to our next offerings:
June 3- Jake and Joe’s in Waltham will be our landing spot for some outdoor enjoyment, food, drinks and a surprise in the works! Stay tuned for our formal announcement and registration link.
In later July, we are looking forward to hosting another member focused webinar, more details to come.
In mid-October, we will plan to head up north again, based on the feedback we received from our April 15 event, to see our friends more north of Boston.
As we get closer to the fall, we will announce our holiday gathering plans as well, but let’s not rush the summer.
Thank you to all of you able to attend on Monday April 15, we are looking forward to seeing you real soon!
