About Nate S. Purcell

I’ve spent 18+ years leading complex healthcare programs where clarity, structure, and trust matter most.At Trinity Health — one of the nation’s largest health systems — I led enterprise initiatives including a Health Insurance Marketplace implementation reaching individuals, Meaningful Use attestation for 1,200+ providers generating $10M in CMS incentives, and a COVID-19 clinician redeployment program launched across 88 hospitals in two weeks.At Sandata Technologies, I inherited a strained relationship within California’s Medicaid EVV program — the company’s largest state payer account — and focused on stabilizing delivery, rebuilding stakeholder trust, and reducing SLA penalty exposure by 93%.My approach is analytical, systematic, and governance-driven. I connect strategy to execution, build structure where none exists, and create clear decision frameworks that help teams move forward with confidence. I’m known for calm leadership, unbiased reporting, and bringing visibility to risks, stakeholder dynamics, and operational signals that often go unmeasured.I do my best work in environments that value thoughtful execution, cross-functional alignment, and durable operational outcomes. My focus is helping teams move from ambiguity to clarity — establishing governance, defining workstreams, and creating a foundation that holds.I’m particularly interested in short-term, contract, or fractional-style engagements where the goal is to establish structure, governance, and execution clarity — then transition ownership back to the internal team. Best-fit roles are remote or locally hybrid, with limited travel.If you’re looking for someone who brings structure to complexity and helps teams move forward with clarity, I’d welcome the c••••••••@gmail.com
