Connecting pharmacy, technology, and the patient.

About Kelee

A strategist who has seen healthcare from every side.

I'm a healthcare strategist, consultant, and patient advocate with more than 30 years of experience across pharmacy, healthcare technology, data, and patient access.

My career has given me a view of healthcare from every side: pharmacy operations, technology, manufacturers, payers, specialty pharmacy, and most importantly, the patient experience.

I'm known for taking complicated problems and making them practical. I ask not only whether something can be built, but whether it should be built, how it fits into existing workflows, and whether it truly improves the experience for patients and the people caring for them.

What I Connect

The Areas I Connect

My work sits at the intersection of disciplines that traditionally operate in silos. I help organizations connect those pieces so solutions don't just sound good on paper, they actually work in healthcare.

Pharmacy & REMS

REMS strategy, workflow design, and implementation that maintain compliance while reducing administrative burden.

Precision Medicine & PGx

Pharmacogenomics and biomarker testing strategies spanning clinical workflows, laboratory integration, and adoption.

Healthcare Technology & AI

Evaluating and implementing technology and AI where they add real value: workflow fit, governance, and patient safety.

Specialty Pharmacy & Patient Access

Specialty pharmacy operations, patient journeys, and manufacturer programs that remove barriers to therapy.

Payer & Market Access

Coverage strategy, prior authorization, and reimbursement approaches that translate clinical innovation into access.

Interoperability & Data

HL7 FHIR, NCPDP, and workflow standards that connect manufacturers, pharmacies, providers, labs, and payers.

Career Breadth

Industry Leadership & Experience

More than 30 years across the pharmacy ecosystem, seen from multiple vantage points. That breadth is what makes the connective work possible.
