Women in Health IT
Recognizing Women Who Are Shaping Healthcare IT
Since 2020, ELLKAY's Women in Health IT program has recognized women leaders across healthcare technology who are advancing interoperability, data infrastructure, and digital health innovation. These are the engineers, executives, architects, and strategists building the systems that healthcare depends on. We celebrate their work, amplify their voices, and invite the community to nominate the next generation of honorees.

The Program in Numbers
Five years of recognizing women who are building, leading, and reimagining healthcare technology. These numbers reflect the community ELLKAY is proud to have helped grow.
How Women in Health IT Works
Women in Health IT is more than a recognition list. It is a growing community of leaders, an ongoing conversation about inclusion in healthcare technology, and a platform that amplifies the voices the industry needs to hear.
Recognition
Each honoree is featured in a published editorial profile — a candid conversation about their career path, their take on interoperability and innovation, and the work they think matters most right now.
Community
Honorees join a network of women shaping healthcare IT, connecting across organizations, disciplines, and career stages.
Inspiration
Published profiles are freely available to anyone. The goal is simple: give the next generation of women considering health IT real examples of the paths and possibilities that exist in this field.
Nominate a Woman in Health IT
We want to hear about women making a real impact in healthcare IT. Nominees may be engineers, executives, interoperability architects, clinicians who crossed into technology, or anyone building systems that improve how healthcare data moves. No strict criteria, just meaningful work that deserves recognition. If selected, we work with honorees on an editorial profile published on the ELLKAY website, feature them in speaking opportunities, and more.
