Innovation Program Manager
Will is an Innovation Program Manager at DIHI, where he helps bring new ideas to life and measure their impact across Duke Health. He’s especially passionate about market-expanding cost-compressing innovations that strengthen community health. Highlights of his work was helping launch Duke’s first Hospital at Home program, “Scout“, and a ‘Bed Watch’ real-time monitoring view. Along the way, he’s enjoyed learning from DIHI’s solutions architects and collaborating on user-friendly designs for new healthcare tools.
Before joining DIHI, Will worked with teams at Duke Health and Emory Healthcare to improve operational performance. He earned his undergraduate and MBA degrees from Duke University and his MPH from Emory University. His earlier experiences include leading community agribusiness and healthcare initiatives in Niger and interning with organizations such as HealthStream Living Labs, the CDC-Emory Global Health Institute Partnership, the Duke Chancellor for Health Affairs, and the Denver Department of Public Health.
Outside of work, Will loves playing tennis, swimming, dog-walking, and discovering good food around Durham. His favorite weekends are spent exploring the Durham Museum of Life and Science, Duke Gardens, or a local park with his wife and their 4-year-old son.
