An Emmy-nominated leader with more than 25 years of industry experience, she transformed the growing organization’s marketing and communications functions from small, siloed operations into a high-performing integrated team over her 11-plus-year tenure, which began with developing the health system’s brand and leading a systemwide rebranding initiative. Ms. Stevens has led internal and external communications through multiple crises including a systemwide malware event, several major hurricanes and Covid-19. Most recently, she led the marketing and patient experience components of the health system’s conversion to Epic in 2024, including chairing the patient experience workgroup and overseeing the development of the “My Tidelands Health” app, which has been downloaded more than 30,000 times. Her team has won more than 100 industry awards over the past decade, and she is currently preparing to launch a major capital campaign aligned with the health system’s 75th anniversary. Ms. Stevens serves on the Society for Health Care Strategy and Market Development’s national advisory board and is a frequent speaker at national conferences including the Healthcare Internet Conference and NRC Health HUB24.
