Leslie Flick
Executive Consultant
Having been aligned as a member representative to Health Future’s Supply Chain and Operating Councils for over 20 years, Leslie joined the Health Future team as an employee in 2009. Born and raised in New Orleans, Leslie seemed destined to work in the supply chain area as both parents had lengthy careers in procurement and supply chain operations. She has been working in related areas for 30+ years. While spending part of her work experience in healthcare administration, Leslie’s true passion is supply chain, logistics and change management. According to Leslie, that’s what makes her eyes sparkle.
Leslie’s mantra is “Those who say it can’t be done shouldn’t interrupt those that are doing it”. She carries that forward in her work supporting our Oregon and Nevada-based member facilities. According to Leslie, “It’s in our day-to-day efforts with our members that the value of what we can offer is most evident. That’s where I feel most fulfilled as we support the continued viability of healthcare in our very rurally oriented states.”
