Jill Eisenstein, recently retired and former CEO and president of Rochester RHIO, was honored with the 2021 Leadership Award at the national SHIEC conference in Arizona last month. This award recognizes leadership advancing the HIE industry nationally or in a particular region or regions.

Joining Rochester RHIO as associate director in 2006 and then becoming CEO in 2015, Eisenstein was central to creating vital technical, financial, and cross-organizational infrastructure for the organization when HIEs were only a concept on paper.

We congratulate Jill and wish her the best in her next chapter!
