Our Founder

"I’ve had the pleasure of working with Deb for the last nine months and can attest to her tremendous value to our organization.  She has worked effectively with individual providers, managers and employees, with teams, clinics and departments, and with senior leadership.  She is highly skilled and brings great results."
— John Ford, MD, Medical Director of Innovation and Care Transformation, Oregon Medical Group

"Deb is an invaluable resource and asset to whomever she works with, whether it’s a clinical staff member, care team, or provider. She has a thoughtful and logical approach to help build camaraderie, provide lean methods to improve efficiencies, and open up the bridge for communication to promote teamwork. She is a great person to work with and is a reliable person to lean on when there are challenging problems to solve and you need fresh ideas for a new strategy. She isn’t afraid to provide new creative approaches to challenging situations and has been someone that I’ve admired for her suggestions, solutions, and diplomatic way of trying to do the right thing with the current limited resources at hand."
— Lily Yip, PharmD, APh, CDE, BCACP | Director of Clinical Pharmacy Operations and Patient Education

“As a new Chief Executive Officer of one of the largest CDCs in Oregon I am interested in nurturing a culture of respect and understanding. Deb Williams facilitated a one day retreat with our leadership team which helped us to open ourselves and understand each one of our needs, desires and even fears. Needless to say, this work has allowed our leadership team to be more open, more empathetic and ultimately, to be happier and more productive.”
— Ernesto Fonseca, PhD, Chief Executive Officer, Hacienda CDC

"Deb takes a genuine, compassionate yet tactical approach to her work. While her skill sets are almost infinite, I find her perspective in team engagement, problem solving, and human resource development to be innovative and inspiring. It continues to amaze me how she manages strategic priorities and engages all the stakeholders around her. She is an invaluable colleague, mentor, and friend."
— Rosana Chan, MPH, Manager of Practice Innovation, Facey Medical Group

“Deb is one of the most naturally talented, and very knowledgeable people I have been fortunate to work with. She is quite meticulous in her work, yet with an empathetic, caring and nurturing approach. Her ability to set the challenging goals, to surpass them, and to have confidence in her own abilities to meet the set objectives has been truly inspirational with her colleagues and friends.”
— Erik Davydov, M.D., FACP, Medical Director, Facey Medical Group

"Our team has experienced great success! I have grown my leadership skills due to Deb's coaching and support.
It is always a pleasure working with and learning from Deb."
— Rebecca Patterson-Judd, MD, Shareholder, Physician Champion and Compliance Chair

"Deb's work with our team has generated steady improvement for both providers and caregivers in communication with each other and developing a more patient focused approach to our work."
— Don Huey, MD, Shareholder, Physician Champion and Chair of Quality Management

"Deb has taught me 3 keys things as a leader that has changed how I work with my team: to assume good intent, ask clarifying questions and set ground rules.
These skills have been instrumental in my leadership style and have achieved the outcomes I want from my team."
— Julie Rodriguez, RN, Patient Care Delivery Manager
