Delayed decisions and costly mistakes
- 02
Professional isolation and uncertainty
- 03
Limited impact on healthcare’s future
Your Leadership
Transformation
As a healthcare leader, you carry the weight of decisions that impact thousands of lives. Your peers in the 229Project community understand because they've walked in your shoes. That's why we've created a community where leaders find clarity, confidence, and trusted connections.
We’ve Done It.
Created by healthcare CIOs and industry leaders with decades of experience
We Get It.
We understand the challenges of healthcare transformation and build solutions together
As a healthcare leader, you faced an unprecedented moment on February 29th, 2020.
When the first U.S. COVID-19 death was reported to the CDC, you and your peers were thrust into the most challenging chapter of modern healthcare.
That day revealed a truth: no leader should face healthcare's greatest challenges alone.
You're already transforming healthcare. But imagine having a trusted circle of peers who've walked in your shoes, who understand the weight of your decisions, and who share your vision for better healthcare. A place where your boldest ideas find support, your challenges meet solutions, and your impact multiplies through collaboration.
That's why healthcare leaders like you gather here. In relaxed, candid conversations, you'll:
- 01Share hard-won insights that can save peers months of trial and error.
- 02Get unfiltered feedback on your toughest challenges from those who’ve solved them.
- 03Build relationships that become your most valued professional assets.
Your expertise, combined with the collective wisdom of accomplished healthcare leaders, creates an unstoppable force for transformation. Because when visionary leaders support each other, there's no limit to how far healthcare can advance.
Ready to multiply your impact? Join peers who share your commitment to better healthcare. Together, we'll tackle today's challenges and shape tomorrow's breakthroughs.

Meet Bill Russell, Founder of the 229Project
As the former CIO for a sixteen hospital system, I have been on the frontlines of healthcare technology leadership. And I recognize how difficult the role can be.
My hope is to create an authentic community of leaders and partners where we can work together to build a better future for healthcare. One where every leader will have a community that supports them and spurs them on to great things.
What They're Saying
I would highly recommend 229 as the investment in time and the return on networking and the sharing of ideas are invaluable!
Craig Richardville— Chief Digital & Information Officer | UF Health
“The 229 Project CIOs was one of the most valuable connections I have made with my peers and leading technology partners. The collaboration and discussion during the onsite event was valuable, but the ongoing dialogue that continues is what is priceless. Thank you for the opportunity to bring CIOs together in a true learning environment.”
From Isolation
to Influence
Trusted peers change how healthcare leaders make decisions, lead organizations, and shape what comes next.
- 01
Leading without perspective
High-stakes decisions feel heavier when every call rests on one point of view.
- 02
Trusted peers change the equation
Private, candid conversations add experience, context, and perspective exactly when it matters.
- 03
Lead with confidence and impact
Better perspective creates better decisions — and stronger leaders shape stronger organizations.
