Eugenia leads with energy and is able to get people to rally around process change that improves patient care. She is nimble, responsive, and transformational. She was able to take our hospital at risk of survey compliance to compliant in a short amount of time and was able to work proactively to keep the organization compliant through innovative and creative means.

"Dr. Powell and I have collaborated over the past several years on projects related to improving quality and safety in hospitalized patient populations at a major health care system. The data which guides care of patient populations is complex and challenging to interpret. Dr. Powell has unique skills in analyzing such health data and in developing data-driven approaches to improve health outcomes. I have seen how she works within and across the health disciplines to improve the quality of patient care in a cost-effective manner. I have also known Dr. Powell from her student days in our PhD program, and seen her develop as a strong, thoughtful and caring leader and agent of change."

Qualities such as this also facilitate maximizing the talents of all on the leadership team which supports actualizing the organization’s mission, vision, and values.”

I have had the pleasure of serving on the team of Dr. Eugenia Powell in a hospital setting.
