We are incredibly proud to announce that our Founder and Principal, Teal Heath, has been recognized in Becker's Hospital Review's prestigious "100 Women in Health IT to Know | 2025" list. This honor reflects not only Teal's individual achievements but also the innovative, forward-thinking approach that defines Equinox HIT’s mission in the healthcare technology landscape.

Revolutionizing Healthcare IT in Construction

Teal’s recognition comes at a pivotal time—when the intersection of healthcare technology and facility development has never been more critical. Her modern approach to health IT in construction is fundamentally transforming how we conceptualize and implement technology in healthcare environments.

Rather than treating IT as an afterthought, Teal has pioneered the integration of comprehensive IT strategy into every phase of healthcare facility development. This methodology ensures that hospitals and healthcare facilities are not only structurally sound but also born care-ready—technologically equipped to meet the evolving demands of modern healthcare delivery.

By embedding IT considerations from the ground up, Equinox HIT helps create smarter, more connected healthcare environments that can adapt and scale with advancing medical technologies.

A Testament to Vision and Excellence

Becker’s "Women in Health IT to Know" program honors female leaders who are “using technology to drive meaningful change by streamlining administrative processes, enhancing care delivery, standardizing workflows, and elevating overall system efficiency.” Teal’s inclusion in this distinguished group is a testament to her vision, dedication, and relentless pursuit of excellence in healthcare technology implementation.

Her leadership extends beyond technical expertise. With a deep understanding of healthcare operations, clinical workflows, and the critical role of thoughtfully planned technology infrastructure, Teal has positioned Equinox HIT as a trusted partner for healthcare organizations seeking to optimize their technological capabilities within their physical spaces.

Joining a Community of Trailblazers

This recognition places Teal among an exceptional group of women who are actively shaping the future of health IT. As the healthcare industry continues to evolve—especially in the wake of accelerated digital transformation—the leadership and innovation demonstrated by these women are more vital than ever.

The timing of this recognition underscores the growing importance of strategic technology planning in healthcare construction and renovation. As care delivery models evolve, the need for facilities that can seamlessly integrate new technologies and support innovative approaches has never been greater.

Looking Forward

As we celebrate this well-deserved recognition, we’re reminded of the impact that thoughtful, strategic leadership can have on an entire industry. Teal’s work through Equinox HIT continues to set new standards for how healthcare technology and construction can work together to create environments that truly serve patients, providers, and communities.

We invite you to join us in celebrating not only Teal’s achievement but also the broader community of women leaders who are driving innovation in health IT.
