Flight Path Podcast | When Healthcare Leaders Become Patients: A Conversation from SOAR 2026

What happens when the people responsible for shaping healthcare technology find themselves navigating the very systems they help lead?

Recorded live at SOAR 2026 in Austin, Texas, Flight Path hosts Mike Mosquito and Maureen Nylin sit down with three influential healthcare IT leaders: Sheree McFarland (HCA Healthcare), Erica Williams Lankes (AdventHealth), and Karla Arzola (AdventHealth) for an honest and deeply personal conversation about the challenges of navigating healthcare.

Through firsthand experiences involving loved ones, these leaders share how even industry insiders struggle with fragmented communication, complicated insurance processes, and gaps in patient care.

The conversation explores the importance of patient advocacy, the promise of AI and emerging technologies, and the responsibility healthcare leaders have to ensure innovation doesn't leave vulnerable communities behind.

At its core, this episode is a reminder that healthcare isn't just about systems, technology, or processes. It's about people. And creating meaningful change starts with understanding the experience on the other side of the hospital bed.

Join us for a powerful conversation about leadership, empathy, innovation, and the human connections that can transform healthcare.

Flight Path | Beyond Networking: Building Authentic Partnerships at SOAR 2026 with Bevey Miner & Lloyd Fobi

What happens when meaningful connections turn into powerful partnerships?

Recorded live at Bluebird Leaders SOAR 2026 in Austin, Texas, this episode of Flight Path brings together healthcare technology leaders Bevey Miner and Lloyd Fobi for an insightful conversation about innovation, collaboration, and the power of authentic relationships.

Bevey shares her journey of launching a new venture focused on helping healthcare technology companies navigate evolving policies and position their solutions for meaningful impact. Lloyd discusses his work addressing the "last mile" challenges facing healthcare organizations and connecting technology solutions with the people who need them most.

Together, they explore how shifting healthcare policies, emerging technologies, and strategic partnerships are shaping the industry's future.

But the conversation goes beyond technology. Bevey and Lloyd reflect on how a chance meeting at a Bluebird Leaders Pink Feather Social sparked a professional relationship with the potential to drive real change.

Their message? Successful networking isn't about collecting business cards or making the next sale. It's about building trust, listening, and finding opportunities to accomplish more together.

They also introduce a refreshing take on AI: Authentic Interactions — a reminder that even in an increasingly technology-driven world, people and relationships remain at the heart of meaningful progress.

Join us for a conversation that captures what makes the Bluebird Leaders community different and why the most valuable connections often begin with a simple conversation.
