Cachet Colvard

Chief Career Officer, Advancement League

As an emerging healthcare leader, I’m passionate about improving the delivery of care. This passion was sparked by my exposure to healthcare in China and Ghana, where I had the opportunity to address gaps in care for pregnant women. Now, I serve as a Population Health Director at Oak Street Health rebuilding healthcare as it should be.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the pleasure of serving on the board of organizations like the Midwest Chapter of the American College of Health Executives and, most recently, the National Association of Health Services Executives. Involvement in organizations such as these not only furthers my own personal development but provides me with the opportunity to take part in helping other young professionals navigate the complexities of healthcare leadership.

When I’m not in the hospital, I love to travel to some of my favorite places, including Brussels, Paris, Tanzania, and South Africa. Since I was young, I’ve always enjoyed dancing, specifically tap dancing. I’m also a big fan of golf and University of Michigan sports.
