Wendy Whittington, MD, MMM
I’m privileged to combine a clinical, administrative, and consulting career in healthcare with a desire to make things better and a passion for helping others succeed.
Healthcare still has many of the problems that I sought to solve years ago (high cost, inconsistent results) and plenty of new challenges (an aging population, workforce obstacles). In medicine, we all learned the “see one, do one, teach one” mantra. I’m taking that mantra one step further now by supporting the next generation of innovators who are charged with solving problems in care that have become increasingly daunting.
