My Story
Dr. Deann Butler is a healthcare expert, podcast host, and CEO of a healthcare consulting business.
Deann has over 15 years of healthcare experience in nonprofit, corporate, and healthcare startups and trained over 10000 healthcare professionals. She realized that many women often feel unheard, undervalued, underpaid, and overworked. She founded Connected Consultants with the goal to amplify the voices of women and people of color in healthcare.
Dr. Butler holds several healthcare degrees including a BS, MA, MHA, and MBA. In 2022, she completed her Doctorate of Healthcare Administration by defending her research project “Let's Get R.E.A.L.: Defining Structural Racism is the First Step Towards Health Equity. Her goal is to ensure professionals are encouraged, motivated, and have opportunities to learn. 2021 saw her launch Becoming the Consulting Connect where she coaches women healthcare professionals to monetize their expertise through consulting and providing a podcast to increase their visibility.
When not working she is spending time with her partner, two kids, and extended family. I love a good trip so if someone plans it I'm on the plane. My ultimate dream is to continue traveling the world, help women launch consulting careers, and lead thought-provoking conversations on racism in healthcare.
