Executive Women in Healthcare

What Executive Women in Healthcare does

Executive Women in Healthcare (EWHC) is a nonprofit professional membership association founded in 1992 and headquartered in Carmel, Indiana. The organization serves women and allies in Indiana's healthcare industry, including executives, clinicians, administrators, attorneys, consultants, and emerging leaders drawn from hospitals, health systems, clinics, medical practices, consulting firms, and healthcare associations across the state. Its core offering is a membership-driven community built around four pillars: networking, professional development, mentorship, and recognition. Programs include quarterly luncheons and breakfasts, an annual awards luncheon, a mentor-protégé pairing program, committee service, and the Lynne O'Day Scholarship Fund at Marian University, which has raised over $80,000 to support young women pursuing healthcare leadership careers.

EWHC does not offer discrete software products; its underlying technology is limited to standard digital infrastructure, including a Squarespace-hosted website (ewhc.org), monthly Constant Contact email newsletters (published continuously since November 2022), and LinkedIn profiles maintained by board members. The organization earns revenue through four streams: (1) annual individual membership dues (pricing undisclosed; members contact the organization directly), (2) tiered corporate sponsorship packages (Gold, Silver, Bronze, with 14 named 2026 sponsors including Hall Render, Champlin Architecture, IU Health, Katz Sapper & Miller, and Gregory & Appel), (3) event registration fees with member and non-member pricing tiers, and (4) scholarship donations routed through Marian University's Office of Institutional Advancement. Strategic partnerships with ACHE of Indiana, HFMA Indiana Chapter, and AMFP Indiana extend programming into healthcare administration, finance, and facilities domains.

The organization is governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors under an Executive Director (Corey Jose) and is led by a rotating slate of officers including the President (Erica Irvin, Apogee Consulting Group), Vice President (Brianna Wetzel, Champlin Architecture), and Past President (Emily Tisdale, UIndy Center for Aging). EWHC maintains geographic focus on central Indiana, has 51-100 employees (likely reflecting a mix of part-time staff and active volunteers), and operates without parent company, private equity backing, or public ownership.
