Becoming a visionary leader doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a path shaped by years of experiences, both professional and personal, that build the dynamic individuals who drive change. For Laura Wilt, Chief Digital Officer at Sutter Health, that journey began far from the world of healthcare technology—on a farm in rural Missouri.

In a recent appearance on the DGTL Voices with Ed Marx podcast, Laura talked about her road from her family’s farm to Sutter Health, where she leads digital transformation efforts that are improving the patient experience, meeting modern consumer expectations, and easing the workloads of physicians and care teams across one of the nation’s largest health systems.
