ABOUT CHRISTINA S.

I\'m a healthcare innovator, Certified Autism Specialist, and the kind of person who believes that the best healthcare innovations start with a simple question: ℎ?For over 15 years, I\'ve been answering that question at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and empathy. As Co-Founder and former CEO of HealthHug, I led the creation of a pediatric care management ecosystem that reimagines how families and providers experience care, one built on compassion, smarter workflows, and real connection.My approach to healthcare innovation comes from my own lived experience. As a mom to a child with multiple chronic conditions and someone who has lost both parents to chronic illness, I\'ve been in the waiting rooms, navigated the maze of referrals, advocated until my voice was hoarse, and felt the weight of needing more than just clinical answers. I\'ve experienced the frustration, the fear, and the deep need for a healthcare system that truly sees families. I know firsthand that families don\'t just need clinical care; they need understanding, coordination, and someone in their corner. That\'s what drives me to lead cross-functional teams, close care gaps, optimize product operations, and design digital health solutions that actually work for the people using them.Throughout my career, I\'ve had the privilege of driving meaningful change: improving patient outcomes, streamlining clinical workflows, fostering inclusive teams, and yes, delivering results that matter (like operational excellence and revenue growth). I\'m passionate about agile project management, product innovation, healthcare compliance, and creating environments where both people and ideas can thrive:Transforming patient experiences | Building with empathy | Strategic healthcare innovation | DEI | Product lifecycle magic | Closing care gaps that actually improve lives \'\':Exploring the world through food and travel, sketching out creative ideas, or diving into something completely unexpected. If you\'re passionate about reimagining healthcare, empowering families, or just love a great conversation over coffee (or a shared love of trying new restaurants), let\'s connect. I\'m always up for collaborating with people who believe healthcare can be both innovative and human.
