”What Needs Improving In Your Work Environment?”

’Improve the lives of those who care for patients…and you will improve patient care.’

At PereraHealth, we don’t recommend that organizations just revive their old communication structures. Instead, we work with organizations and their teams to implement real-time, technology-based solutions that foster a culture of continuous communication, transparency, and trust.

PereraHealth provides services and tools for healthcare organizations to enhance their operational efficiency, effectiveness, and safety…all while preventing team member burnout, reducing leadership burden, and making healthcare organizations a better place to work.

Clinical, Business & Technology Expertise

Founded by Wendy Perera, a nurse innovator, PereraHealth strives to make a difference by bringing balanced technology, business, nurse executive and direct care clinical experience to Pererahealth advisory services and Yell’o™

Wendy gained invaluable executive expertise from renowned academic and Magnet healthcare institutions. And, during the height of the pandemic, Wendy had a unique opportunity to return to the frontlines as a Covid critical care nurse. These experiences opened her eyes to new opportunities to support healthcare organizations, their leaders, and frontline team members.

Wendy holds active RN licenses in multiple states, including CA, MA, NY, and SC Multi-State NLC, totaling RN licenses in 43 states.

Wendy is board certified as an Advanced Nurse Executive (NEA-BC) from ANCC, which is the only certification that includes principles for creating a Magnet culture within organizations wanting to give all interprofessional team members, including nurses, a voice.

Her educational background includes a BSN, MSN, and MBA with a dual focus on healthcare administration and management information systems with informatics, technology and innovation concentration.

Wendy’s professional specializations encompass innovative change management solutions, informatics optimization, telehealth, AI, robotics, predictive analytics, and the advancement of surgical and interventional procedural data science.

Wendy is known for creating strong interprofessional relationships among healthcare executives, leaders, and their frontline team members.

If you improve the work lives of those who care for your patients, you will improve your patient care.
