| ACHE of South Florida Member Spotlight: Rocio Diaz
After joining ACHE (American College of Healthcare Executives) three years ago, Rocio Diaz is now on the board as a member at large, and she couldn’t be happier. “I don’t (work on) a specific committee, which makes it great for me because I’m able to learn from and contribute to the different committees and initiatives.”
The healthcare landscape has become increasingly complex, making collaboration among all stakeholders – clinicians, administrators, healthcare systems and practices, health plans, advocacy, and community-based organizations – more essential than ever. As the saying goes, “It takes a village” to tackle challenges like improving outcomes, advancing health equity, and enhancing access and affordability.
Women’s health is another passion for Diaz and is something she’d like to focus on this year, saying that women account for half of humanity, yet women’s health has not been historically prioritized. “Women frequently serve as caregivers and primary healthcare decision-makers for their families, often putting others’ needs before their own. I’m really passionate about how can we together address the gaps in care and advance women-centered healthcare.”
