Hannah Thomas is currently a project manager at Cleveland Clinic. She works primarily with government value-based programs, identifying and analyzing program opportunity within the enterprise as well as managing performance within value-based programming. Hannah has been at Cleveland Clinic for 5 years. In that time, she has also worked as a lean coach and consultant, building capability throughout the enterprise around lean tools and methodologies through formal implementation of the Cleveland Clinic Improvement Model in departments ranging from administrative to clinical duties as well as through facilitation of formal problem solving courses offered through Cleveland Clinic to all caregivers.

Hannah received her BS Industrial Engineering from UIUC in May 2014. Growing up in a family of clinicians, she knew her goal was to work in healthcare and started with Medline Industries as an operations engineer directly following graduation. She identified Cleveland Clinic as an early adopter of lean methodologies and remained on the lookout for opportunities until she was accepted as a project manager within the Department of Continuous Improvement.

Hannah hopes to continue using her industrial engineering mindset and technical skillset to improve the care provided to patients through the entire value stream and has found that working with government value-based programs provides a high level and rewarding opportunity to work with key stakeholders all around the enterprise to provide better care and outcomes for Cleveland Clinic patients.

Hannah is married with 2 young children, a dog, and 2 cats. She spends her time outside of work exploring the outdoors with her family, exercising, cooking, baking, gardening, and spending time with her loved ones.
