Pursuit Healthcare Advisors, LLC (Pursuit) announced a donation to AAUW in support of Tech Trek. Tech Trek by AAUW is an experiential summer camp aimed at making the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields accessible and exciting for girls in middle school.

Pursuit made the decision to support the cause of motivating young women to pursue degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math after an engaged discussion with several industry leading CIOs at the College of Healthcare Information Executive’s (CHIME) Spring Forum. We led a lively focus group discussion which highlighted a generational gap in healthcare IT, and subsequently explored some creative ideas for closing the gap and becoming leaders for the upcoming generations. Additionally, to strive for a more diverse STEM talent pool in the future.

“As executive advisors in the healthcare industry we know there is a gender gap with women accounting for only 21% of executive and board members of Fortune 500 healthcare firms (Modern Healthcare),” says Cyndi Vely Cahill, Managing Partner of Pursuit. “As an advisory firm providing program and project management as well as interim leadership roles, we have seen the benefit of having a diverse talent pool. We are encouraged by our CHIME discussion and proud to be able to be part of this movement.”
