Advisory Committee Member Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Hi all, I’m Stephanie Feals - jumping in to the chat super late! I’ve read all the intros, the chat, and the charter from the google docs. About me: I’m in PA, have an elementary age daughter, a great husband, a dog and 2 cats. 🙂 My background is TV news/communication, but I took a detour through corporate life at a Benefits Tech company where I lead corporate culture and philanthropy both before and after we went public. It was fascinating all around from learning about tech, benefits, organizational culture, and how it changes over time as we went public and grew. That experience with culture was absolutely relevant to this group, because people are people no matter where they are. The benefits experience was also super relevant and helpful to this world… and to my life post 2015 when I had a high-risk pregnancy, developed severe pre-eclampsia/HELLP, leading to my daughter’s premature birth (3 months early). Later several family members had cancer. Through those experiences as a patient, advocate for those I love, as well as my ability to understand benefits and communicate well, I have become thoroughly entrenched in the world of healthcare. I currently have 2 online shows, Making Healthcare Work for You, which I co-founded and co-host with Apurv, and The Stephanie Feals show (which is much newer).
