Elizabeth L. Bewley founded Pario Health Institute in 2008. Her work focuses on catalyzing change so that health care in the U.S. becomes more individual-centric, resulting in a health care system whose purpose is "to enable people to lead the lives they want."
A twenty-year veteran of health care icon Johnson & Johnson, she won the Chairman’s Award for her unique and actionable strategic insights into the rapidly changing, volatile health care environment.
She was recruited to serve on industry task forces of the National Quality Forum which published three CEO Survival Guides for hospital CEOs on the topics of Personal Health Records (PHR), performance measurement, and Pay for Performance (P4P). Elizabeth has been recruited as an advisor to national health policy conferences and has spoken by invitation at many such events.
In 2010, Elizabeth authored Killer Cure: Why health care is the second leading cause of death in America and how to ensure that it’s not yours. Her first health care work, Solving America’s Health Care Problems (1996), is available for download at www.pariohealth.net. In it she predicted many current trends in health care nearly a decade before they started to make headlines.
Previously Vice President, Strategic Planning for a unit of Johnson & Johnson, Elizabeth has held leadership roles in finance, operations, information management, process improvement, and strategy. In one of her operations roles, she was plant manager of one of the three Tylenol factories in the United States, where she was responsible for producing up to four billion doses of Tylenol annually. She later served on the management boards of two Johnson & Johnson business units, and oversaw initiatives with budgets of up to $200 million.
A hallmark of her work is her ability to see underlying patterns that typically escape notice, and to create significant and unique insights that resonate broadly. Her audiences praise her for making complex and convoluted topics clear by drawing on stories and unexpected analogies. (The index to Killer Cure reveals references to John Madden, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Star Trek, the Rolling Stones, Sleeping Beauty, Rodney Dangerfield, and the Wizard of Oz, among others.)
Elizabeth earned an MBA from Columbia, completed subsequent graduate work in health policy, and has an undergraduate degree in Accounting/Finance from Excelsior College. She is also a certified Six Sigma Black Belt. Her unwavering advocacy for the individual/patient/consumer is informed by her own near-death experiences -- including one resulting from a bicycle crash at 44 mph.
She and her husband, Stephen Brubaker, live in Prescott, AZ where they enjoy mountain biking, hiking, swimming, and tai chi.
