Community Health Collective

by Jill Steeley

I'm Jill Steeley, and I spent years as an FQHC CEO feeling like I was the only one struggling with impossible choices—mission or margin, staff or budget, growth or sustainability. Until I realized: I wasn't alone. None of us are. That's why I created this podcast—to build the community that community health leaders deserve. Whether you're leading a health center, a rural clinic, a public health program, or any organization putting community care first, you'll find practical wisdom, honest conversations, and a whole lot of "finally, someone gets it" moments here. Each episode tackles the big stuff—financial strategy, workforce challenges, policy changes—and the personal stuff—boundaries, burnout, and what it really takes to sustain yourself while serving others.
