Episode description

Join us as we celebrate our three decades of dedication to digital health leadership with this special edition podcast! For each of the 30 weeks until our Fall Forum, we’ll visit with a digital health leader who has made a very special impact on CHIME, including many of our Board Chairs!

In this episode, Russ chats with CHIME’s current Board Chair Tanya Townsend, CHCIO, SVP and CIO, LCMC Health. Townsend highlights the COMMUNITY that has always been the hallmark of CHIME and describes how our community spirit has brought career success and personal friendships to members over the decades. She also looks back in gratitude to visionary mentors like Steve Pelton who assisted her growth as a leader. Townsend notes the high points of 2022 thus far, including the striking success of ViVE and the launch of CHIME University’s graduate programs. She looks forward to continuing achievements in Digital Health Analytics and public policy advocacy, as well as the big 30th anniversary celebration to come in-person at CHIME22 Fall Forum.
