🚀 Improving Patient Outcomes with Snowflake: An Evening with Industry Leaders

Holly Hallman is the Vice President of Data Architecture & Analytics at Children’s Health, where she is leading a multi‑year transformation to modernize how data is governed, accessed, and used across the organization. With deep experience spanning data platform strategy, architecture, and analytics enablement, Holly’s work focuses on turning complex, fragmented data ecosystems into trusted, scalable platforms that support clinicians, executives, researchers, and operators alike. Her leadership centers on eliminating data silos, reducing friction for end users, and creating an environment where insight can be delivered faster and with greater impact.

Jeff Clark is AVP, Enterprise Intelligence at Advocate Health, the 3rd largest non-profit health system in the U.S. and a Snowflake customer. Jeff has nearly 20 years of experience in data and analytics in the healthcare industry, with deep technical knowledge of the tools and architecture that support a cloud transformation. A former data engineer/architect, he is especially passionate about helping technical teams understand how to maximize the full value of Snowflake to empower analytics in their organization.

Holly will share how Children's Health is approaching enterprise data and analytics modernization to strengthen its ability to make life better for children. Both Holly and Jeff will share how their respective organizations have taken the perspective that modernization is not just a technology initiative, but an enterprise-level strategic imperative. 

Attendees will hear how a cloud‑native, governed data platform can streamline operations, reduce costs, accelerate time‑to‑value, and unlock innovation in analytics, AI, and data products, all while maintaining the security and compliance required in healthcare. They'll also hear about how new features of the Snowflake platform (like Cortex, OpenFlow, and dbtCore integration) can dramatically simplify their environment, and accelerate how quickly they can deliver on business needs.

Children’s Health is intentionally planning for this transformation: aligning architecture, governance, operating models, and vendor partnerships to support long‑term success. Holly will close with a look ahead at what this modernization means for people—not just platforms—including exciting new job opportunities within the Enterprise Data & Analytics department. For those passionate about cloud data platforms, analytics engineering, AI, and building modern data enablement in healthcare, this is a chance to hear firsthand how to be part of a transformation that directly supports better outcomes for patients, families, and the community.
