Heidi Aylsworth, RD, MBA
Healthcare Consulting Leader
As a senior healthcare strategy leader, Heidi brings her diverse background in hospital administration, clinical care and business analysis to NBBJ’s healthcare consulting practice. Focused on strategic, operational, financial and capital planning, she develops and executes frameworks to guide operational excellence, programmatic growth and organizational strategy.
Her previous work in executive leadership positions—including as Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium and as Chief Strategy Officer at both Swedish Medical Center and the Western Washington Region of Providence—informs how she approaches each partnership with NBBJ’s healthcare clients, both from a quantitative and qualitative lens.
Heidi has presented at premier healthcare conferences, including the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) and Society for Healthcare Strategy and Market Development (SHSMD) on the intersection of business, operations and healthcare design.
Heidi believes listening and asking the right questions is essential to leadership. This approach shapes her work across all facets, both within and outside NBBJ. She is also an avid rower, who has competed at major regattas throughout the Pacific Northwest and nationally for nearly two decades.
