Recently I had the opportunity to attend a collaborative strategic development conference for service line development of new technology within our institution. I was skeptical to say the least, to see the span of attendees that would be joining from my institution. OR leadership, surgeons, pharma reps and leadership, and surgeons. Yikes, is this a […]
Our spring forum team put together an engaging and topical panel discussion this past April. Moderator Claudine Swartz, a WHCM steering committee member, did a fantastic job moderating for a second year in a row; asking thoughtful questions, and playing off the conversation to keep each panelist engaged. As a marketing manager for a health […]
There is nothing like ringing in the first month of the New Year with fellow women in healthcare. It is always an honor for me to meet our member and non-member attendees at these casual events, and January 29th’s event at Joe’s in Dedham did not disappoint! What a great group of 20+ guests sharing […]

This year, we decided to put additional structure around the […]
We haven’t had a summer networking event in Boston in several years, so we decided to bring it back – Boston is so fun in the summer! Unfortunately, the torrential rains kept us from enjoying the outdoor patio, but close to 40 women showed up to network, and I was so happy to see new […]
Just like that, my son Dhruv has turned 1! As of this writing, he is almost 14 months. Wow! I am trying to find a good metaphor for the last 11 months of being a full-time employee and full- time mom. A Roller Coaster ride seems appropriate, so does a stretched elastic band and being […]
Recently, our institution began a “Positive Pause” initiative. Our Provider Wellness Oversight team has been working hard to narrow their focus on wins that will provide a more mindful, healthy environment for colleagues within the institution, focused on clinical providers. Positive Pause entails opening meetings with a positive story. These have ranged from positive patient […]
