Lee A. Tafoya on Why Clinical Experience Should Be a Prerequisite for Healthcare Executives
Missouri, US, 5th July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In an era of increasingly complex healthcare systems, where financial metrics often overshadow patient needs, Lee A. Tafoya is advocating for a shift in leadership thinking: clinical experience should no longer be optional for healthcare executives; it should be essential.
With a career spanning clinical research, direct patient care, nursing leadership, and business development, Tafoya has witnessed firsthand how decisions made at the administrative level affect patients, providers, and outcomes on the ground. He believes that healthcare leaders who lack real clinical experience risk overlooking the human side of healthcare, leading to inefficiencies, disconnection, and even harm.
“You can’t effectively lead in healthcare if you’ve never stood at a patient’s bedside,” says Tafoya. “It’s like trying to command a ship without ever having been at sea.”
Currently a Business Development Executive at Midwest Innovation Laboratory, Tafoya is known for his strategic mind but also for his deep understanding of how every operational choice impacts care delivery. Drawing from his diverse background; including time spent in high-stakes cancer trials, home health leadership, and international medical relief; he’s making a case for embedding clinical experience into the DNA of healthcare leadership.
From the Bedside to the Boardroom
Tafoya began his career as a nurse, earning his Nursing degree from The George Washington University, after completing a dual major in Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Colorado Denver. This unique combination gave him the scientific rigor and human-centered lens that have become his trademarks.
He quickly advanced into complex clinical research, working on cutting-edge immunology and oncology studies, including the renowned Dendreon cancer trials. His technical expertise and leadership led to a 100% success rate in stem cell apheresis, a remarkable achievement in an extremely delicate and high-stakes procedure.
These early experiences shaped his leadership philosophy. “When you’ve been part of a family’s journey through end-stage cancer or helped someone breathe through pulmonary distress, you carry those stories into every decision you make,” says Tafoya. “You think differently about budget cuts, staffing ratios, and metrics. You think about people first.”
Empathy as a Leadership Tool
For Tafoya, clinical experience doesn’t just offer technical insight it, fosters empathy. And in healthcare, empathy isn’t a soft skill; it’s a strategic advantage.
“When leaders understand the mental, emotional, and physical demands on nurses, doctors, and patients, they make smarter decisions,” Tafoya notes. “You can’t fix what you can’t feel.”
At Advance Home Health and Hospice, where Tafoya served as Clinical Director, this mindset translated into tangible results. He reduced rehospitalization rates, streamlined operational processes, and elevated care quality, by listening to his clinical teams and patients, identifying what worked, and adjusting accordingly.
This kind of empathetic leadership, he argues, is the antidote to the bureaucratic inertia and inefficiency that plagues many health systems.
Bridging the Gap Between Operations and Outcomes
Now in his role at Midwest Innovation Laboratory, Tafoya focuses on business growth through clinical alignment. He builds partnerships with private practices and healthcare networks, driving profitability while ensuring service delivery remains patient-centric.
His day-to-day involves:
-
Conducting root cause analysis to address service failures
-
Designing tailored logistics solutions that meet the unique needs of providers
-
Creating value-driven partnerships that reflect clinical realities, not just market trends
This work has reinforced his belief that non-clinical executives often misjudge frontline challenges, leading to solutions that look good on paper but fail in practice.
“We see it all the time; decisions made without clinical consultation lead to breakdowns in communication, delays in diagnosis, and avoidable readmissions,” says Tafoya. “It’s not enough to manage healthcare like a business. You have to understand the business of care.”
A Call for Culture Shift
Tafoya is calling for a culture shift in how healthcare organizations recruit and groom leaders. He believes that boards, C-suites, and investors should prioritize clinical backgrounds when selecting leadership and that emerging executives should be encouraged to spend time in clinical environments, even if their roles are primarily operational.
He also advocates for:
-
Cross-training programs for administrators to shadow clinicians
-
Executive education that includes clinical case studies and ethics
-
Mentorship opportunities that connect business professionals with nurse leaders, medical directors, and patient advocates
“Healthcare is not just a supply chain with lab results,” Tafoya explains. “It’s an ecosystem of human need and response. Leaders who internalize that are better prepared to innovate, navigate crises, and earn trust.”
Grounded in Service
Outside of his formal roles, Tafoya’s commitment to healthcare equity and integrity continues through volunteer work with International Medical Relief, where he brings care to underserved populations across the globe. These experiences, he says, continually renew his understanding of what matters most in healthcare: dignity, access, and trust.
His background in philosophy and psychology also shapes his approach. For Tafoya, every clinical interaction, policy decision, or business negotiation is underpinned by questions of ethics, meaning, and behavior. It’s a rare blend of perspective in an industry too often driven by financial or regulatory bottom lines.
Building the Leaders of Tomorrow
As the healthcare sector braces for more technological disruption, staffing shortages, and rising patient expectations, Tafoya argues that the solution lies not just in AI or analytics but in people who know how to care.
“We need more nurse-CEOs. More lab techs running business units. More people who’ve helped someone walk again leading innovation teams,” he says. “That’s how we stay grounded, and that’s how we move forward.”
Lee A. Tafoya is walking proof that clinical experience doesn’t limit your leadership trajectory; it strengthens it. By bringing the heartbeat of healthcare back into the boardroom, he’s showing that the best decisions are still the ones made by those who know what it feels like to care.

Currently serving as a Business Development Executive at Midwest Innovation Laboratory, he specializes in partnership development, logistics optimization, and service recovery.

Sharjah, UAE, 5th July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, TR.ENERGY is a high-tech decentralized platform for efficient delegation and rental TRON Energy, helping users significantly reduce transaction costs when transferring USDT TRC-20 on the network.
The platform enables users to buy TRON energy instantly, providing a cost-effective alternative to the traditional fee model on the TRON blockchain. This solution is especially relevant for active traders, crypto businesses, exchanges looking to optimize expenses.
Why Energy Matters in the TRON Network
The TRON network is one of the fastest-growing and most advanced ecosystems in Web3. However, when interacting with smart contracts — such as transferring USDT TRC-20 or deploying a decentralized application (dApp) — users consume energy. If there’s not enough energy in the wallet, the network burns TRX, increasing the transaction cost. For high-frequency users, this can result in hundreds of dollars in additional monthly costs.
For example, a typical USDT transaction can cost up to 27 TRX (~$7.40). In contrast, the same transaction via TR.ENERGY costs just 10 TRX, enabling users to cut fees by more than 63%.
Users without sufficient energy may also encounter the “OUT_OF_ENERGY” error, which prevents transactions from being processed.
TR.ENERGY solves this problem by offering an easy and instant way to buy TRX energy – with no need to freeze tokens or perform complex configurations.
How TR.ENERGY Works
TR.ENERGY provides immediate access to TRON energy without freezing your own TRX. Through its intuitive interface, users can:
- Save up to 63% on fees for USDT TRC-20 transactions;
- Buy tron energy for durations ranging from 15 minutes to 24 hours;
- Stay secure and anonymous — the service never accesses user funds;
- Use the built-in AML checker to validate wallet safety.
TR.ENERGY Wallet
TR.ENERGY has also launched a non-custodial cryptowallet.
TR.ENERGY Wallet — offering not only safe storage for crypto assets but full access to all TR.ENERGY features, including:
- Buy TRX energy with a few clicks;
- Pay USDT fees with USDT when transferring USDT TRC-20
- Access to an AML checker for TRX, BTC, and ETH;
- Instant token swaps between TRX and USDT (more networks coming soon).
In addition, the platform provides global investors with a staking model offering 16–20% annual returns, positioning TR.ENERGY as one of the most risk-free and high-yield investment options for the TRX token in the crypto market.
Referral Program
TR.ENERGY features a multi-level referral system, where partners can earn 10% of the staking rewards generated by referred users.
As your referral level grows, you unlock even greater rewards and platform benefits.
Who Uses TR.ENERGY?
TR.ENERGY already serves over 10,000 active users, including:
- Crypto businesses processing thousands of transactions daily;
- Retail traders who frequently need TRX energy rental to reduce operational costs;
- Exchanges and services looking to improve user experience and reduce fees.
More Than Just TRON Energy Rental
TR.ENERGY is more than a utility tool – it’s a next-generation DeFi infrastructure built to optimize network fees and scale blockchain operations. The project is currently part of the TRON Builders League (TBL) incubation program and continues to expand its offerings and integrations.
Key Advantages of TR.ENERGY:
Several key advantages of the service:
- Ability to buy TRX energy without the need to freeze assets;
- B2B client support with flexible terms and AML reporting;
- Fully automated processes;
- 24/7 customer support with a personalized, user-first approach.

Benefits of Non-Refrigerated Freshly Cooked Food: Non-refrigerated freshly cooked food offers a range of benefits, especially when consumed shortly after preparation. One of the primary advantages is its freshness and nutritional value. Freshly cooked meals retain more natural nutrients, flavors, and textures compared to reheated or processed foods. They are free from preservatives and additives commonly used in packaged or stored meals, promoting a healthier diet.
Another benefit is improved digestion. Warm, freshly prepared foods are generally easier to digest than cold or stored foods. In many cultures, traditional meals are served fresh and warm, supporting the body’s natural digestive processes. This practice aligns with health philosophies such as Ayurveda, which emphasizes the importance of fresh, warm food for maintaining bodily balance.
Hygiene is another important aspect. When food is cooked and consumed immediately, there is less risk of bacterial growth that can occur during storage. This ensures food safety, especially in warm climates where refrigeration is limited.
