Bluebird Leaders is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides women working in information technology and healthcare information technology with the education, training, and networking they need to spread their wings and fly high in their careers—regardless of their backgrounds and individual differences.

The IT and Health IT industries have traditionally been male-dominated, lacking diversity and women in leadership positions. This reflects a broader challenge across the technology industry. Currently, only 33% of senior leadership positions at U.S. hospitals are held by women, and only 4% of women of color are represented at the C-suite level.

But the gender gap is beginning to narrow as more women aspire to lead in IT and Health IT and drive meaningful change.

Change is inevitable. At Bluebird Leaders, helping people through change is our passion.

We provide the resources, community, and inspiration women need to become Health IT leaders and experts. We encourage our colleagues to start by asking one simple question: “Why?”

Only by asking why can better, leaner processes emerge and create meaningful change—change that benefits both the IT and clinical functions of an organization.
