In this episode of QuickHITs, we sit down with Alex Romillo, CEO, and Oscar Perez, Chief Applications and Innovation Officer at Health Choice Network (HCN). Together, they share how HCN is using technology, data, and mission-driven leadership to support community health centers across the country.

Alex reflects on his nearly 30-year journey with HCN—from joining as employee #17 to leading a 400-person network focused on improving access to care for underserved populations. Oscar discusses his path through major academic and public health systems and why he ultimately chose to help HCN modernize care delivery at scale.

They walk through HCN's multi-state Epic implementation, their approach to data migration, and how AI-powered tools like ambient documentation are reducing burden and improving provider-patient interactions. Both leaders emphasize the importance of data equity, strong governance, and keeping innovation grounded in the real needs of clinicians and the communities they serve.

Tune in for a thoughtful conversation on how technology, when aligned with mission, can expand access, strengthen quality, and drive meaningful transformation across the safety net.
