Opening Keynote: From Texas Two-Step to Transformation: The Indispensable Liaison Legacy
Tammy Tiller-Hewitt, FACHE, CEO, Tiller-Hewitt Healthcare Strategies
In the great state of Texas, the Two-Step is more than a
dance—it’s a ritual of partnership, trust, and seamless movement between two
people. For decades, the physician liaison has been healthcare’s equivalent:
the essential partner who masterfully navigates the rhythm of relationships to
keep the entire system moving forward.
This keynote celebrates the profound and indispensable
Liaison Legacy. We’ll journey from the foundational "Two-Step" of
building trust between providers and health systems to the large-scale
Transformation that these partnerships fuel. Like a cowboy or cowgirl is to
Texas, the physician liaison is the bedrock of healthcare collaboration—the
gritty, resilient force that forges the alliances which heal communities,
advance medicine, and ensure institutions not only survive but thrive.
