Colleen Rice – Spartanburg, SC
Colleen grew up on the southwest coast of Florida and moved to Spartanburg to attend Wofford College. As a biology major, she always knew the healthcare field was in her future and she entered the workforce joining the Hospice Care of South Carolina (HCSC) team initially working on data analytics and then quality, compliance and operations. HCSC was the first company in South Carolina to start a dedicated pediatric hospice program (Hands Of Hope) and they hosted a semi-annual grief camp for children and families called Katherine’s Camp (later rebranded to Camp Hands of Hope). Colleen was involved in the operations of the pediatric hospice program and also assisted in leading the bereavement camps for many years.
After working for HCSC, Colleen was recruited to a role as Account Executive with HospiScript (a United Health Group Company) where she worked directly with hospice clinicians to help them utilize the Pharmacy Benefit Management services from HospiScript as well as coordinating education for the staff with a Hospice Pharmacist. Colleen then took a role as the Vice President of Operations for a healthcare management company whose focus was on improving patient quality of care in skilled nursing facilities. Today she proudly works for Microsoft as a Customer Success Account Manager (CSAM) supporting large healthcare providers on the East Coast. The CSAM role is responsible for creating and developing strategic business relationships with the executive leadership teams to understand their digital transformation goals while also ensuring they are realizing the value of their Microsoft investments. The Microsoft team who works with our healthcare customers have industry experience which helps bridge the gap between clinicians and IT to provide solutions that are more secure, easier for the end users, and less administrative burden on the IT departments.
Outside of work, Colleen enjoys volunteering in Spartanburg and has served on many nonprofit boards and committees. She enjoys spending time with family and friends and loves taking walks in Converse Heights.
