Health First is a nonprofit health system spanning four hospitals, outpatient clinics, physician practices, and commercial/Medicare health plans in the Central Florida region. The tech stack is traditional healthcare-heavy—Epic Systems for clinical workflow, PACS for imaging, Kinnser for home health—with operational tools like PeopleSoft and Kronos. Active projects center on operational efficiency (lean waste reduction, utilization improvement, bed control) and clinical outcomes (stroke care, readmission prevention), reflecting a system focused on improving throughput and patient safety rather than digital transformation.
Notable leadership hires: Emergency Services Director, Clinical Team Lead, Clinical Team Lead LPN, Director of Operations
