Brooke Meyer

I began my healthcare career 15 years ago as a nursing assistant in the ICU while attending nursing school, and became a registered nurse in the medical ICU. In 2017, I transitioned to outpatient cardiovascular services, which opened up new opportunities for me. I started taking on interim leadership roles, and each one turned into a permanent position. I served as the cardiology manager interim, which became permanent, and I held that role for about 3 years. Then I became interim in my current role as Executive Director of Cardiovascular and Critical Care Services, was interim for about 7 months, and that became permanent almost 2 years ago. In my current role, I have operational oversight of all cardiovascular services for the hospital and critical care. My day-to-day really involves supporting the teams, strategic oversight with my dyad physician leader for the cardiovascular service line, and I try to be as forward-facing with the frontline team as possible, so I do a lot of rounding. One of the highlights of my career has been leading my team through organizational change when we partnered with a new company, a large system out of the metro Atlanta area. Successfully navigating change management through that transition has been extremely rewarding, as challenging as it's been, and I've been able to see the positives that have come out of that.
