This marks Teal’s second consecutive year receiving this honor, reinforcing her continued impact on the healthcare technology landscape.

Advancing Health IT in Construction

Teal’s recognition reflects her leadership at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and construction. Through Equinox HIT, she has helped redefine how technology is approached in the development of healthcare facilities.

Rather than being treated as a downstream activity, technology is planned and implemented as a core component of the built environment, ensuring hospitals and facilities are ready to support care delivery from day one.

Her work focuses on integrating clinical systems, infrastructure, and workflows across the full lifecycle of healthcare construction, helping organizations navigate increasingly complex technology projects with confidence.

A Consistent Standard of Excellence

This recognition builds on Teal’s inclusion in the 2025 Becker’s list and highlights the continued growth of her impact over the past year.

Under her leadership, Equinox HIT has supported health systems across the country in delivering complex initiatives, aligning stakeholders, and implementing technology solutions that support long-term operational success.

Celebrating Industry Leadership

Becker’s “Women in Health IT to Know” program honors leaders who are driving meaningful change across healthcare through technology. This recognition places Teal among a distinguished group of women shaping the future of the industry.

We invite you to join us in celebrating not only Teal’s achievement but also the broader community of women leaders transforming how technology is integrated across healthcare. Their work is essential to creating environments that truly support patients, providers, and care teams.
