Change Management that Supports an Inclusive Culture

Lawrence General Hospital
“The work Elevate Impact has done for Lawrence General in meeting the needs of our leadership team has been excellent. Their ongoing collaboration with the hospital board to be a thought partner during times of change has been appreciated and will benefit the hospital as it continues to grow and acquire additional hospital systems in its network.
Their broader vision of creating a leadership forum hub in healthcare to drive collaboration and break silos, is exactly what is needed in healthcare.”

The Need
Elevate Impact was selected through a competitive bidding process to design and facilitate a customized in-person workshop for the Board of Directors and executive leadership team at Lawrence General Hospital. The engagement focused on equipping leaders with the tools and strategies to lead with equity, collaboration, and clarity amid organizational transformation. Following the success of the initial session—delivered to overwhelmingly positive participant feedback—we partnered with the hospital’s board director to develop a second workshop centered on change management. This session supported the hospital’s strategic leadership as it began the integration of two newly acquired safety-net hospitals, each serving distinct communities with unique challenges.
Our Impact
- Built alignment among senior leaders navigating organizational change
- Fostered deeper understanding of equity-centered leadership during transitions
- Created a shared language and framework to guide the integration of newly acquired hospital systems and communities
