| | | NHP Staff Highlight: Database Administrator | | | | | |
Meet Cody Campbell!
Cody is our Database Administrator at NHP. After attending the University of Wyoming (Go Pokes!), he started his career as a business consultant for OTR truck drivers, transitioned into tax accounting, and eventually found his home in healthcare—first as a dashboard developer, and now in data engineering and DBA roles. For more than five years, Cody has loved turning complex eligibility, claims, and provider data into clear, reliable reports that help clinics serve members more efficiently. Outside of work, Cody and his family run a small business, and he recharges by fishing Colorado waters whenever he can. Cody says making a tangible difference for members and providers is what keeps him excited to come to work.
Fun Fact: Cody helps out with a hot air balloon crew most weekends!
