HITea With Grace
HITea with Grace, hosted by digital health expert Grace Vinton, spotlights women leaders in the healthcare IT and pharma innovation sector. What sets Grace's podcast apart is the intentional inclusion of women patient and caregiver leaders in the dialogue – whose perspectives are often overlooked in conversations about healthcare and research innovation.
As a patient advocate, digital health influencer, and award-winning healthcare communications professional, Grace is deeply committed to promoting technologies that save lives and amplifying patient and caregiver voices in the process. She is well-known for telling powerful innovation stories and educating the industry on emerging trends, helping shape industry categories.
Grace has interviewed over 65 women leaders on her podcast to date, magnifying their industry know-how, as well as their personal and professional stories. Her commitment extends beyond the microphone, actively contributing to the evolution of patient-driven healthcare and technology.
Grace's standout quality lies in her audacious goal: to engage with every woman leader in the healthcare industry – spanning care, research, and even funding – and challenge them to incorporate real patient and caregiver voices and experiences into their work.
