“The thing that brought me to healthcare, and has kept me coming back, is that in healthcare, more than other disciplines, technology has a purpose beyond itself. It's not just about technology. Somewhere, downstream of nearly everything my team does, is a patient that's trying to get access to care or to medication they need. That makes the work very tangible and meaningful to me and my team. At Clearway Health, my team gets to contribute in so many ways, building the applications that our team members use, preparing the data that helps them make decisions, establishing integrations that connect our team members to healthcare ecosystems and increasingly through automation and AI. Our team gets to contribute to Clearway Health's important mission in so many ways, and Clearway Health trusts us to make a difference, and that's seriously motivating.”
