Myrtle Roy . RN. BSN. MBA. PMP
Healthcare doesn't need more leadership frameworks.
It needs leaders who've actually run the systems.
Myrtle Roy is a healthcare operations executive with more than two decades of experience — from the emergency department floor to regional multi-site leadership across Northern Virginia. She consults with health system leaders, speaks to professional forums, and writes on the operational realities that most healthcare conversations avoid.

The perspective that comes from having done the work
Myrtle Roy's career spans more than two decades in clinical practice — medical-surgical, telemetry, emergency, and trauma — and a senior regional leadership role overseeing multi-site urgent care and ambulatory operations across Northern Virginia. That combination is uncommon. Most operations executives have never worked a clinical shift. Most clinicians have never had P&L accountability for a multi-site network. Myrtle has done both.
She is also the CEO and Co-Founder of Evidentia Legal Nursing Group, a legal nurse consulting practice serving plaintiff and defense attorneys in medically complex litigation — which means she also understands what happens when healthcare systems fail to deliver on their clinical obligations, and why that failure is always, at its root, an operational and leadership problem.
"Healthcare doesn't fail at the bedside. It fails in the decisions made three levels above it."
Operational track record
Standardized clinical and operational workflows across a multi-site urgent care region, reducing variability in access, throughput, and patient experience.
Led access and throughput optimization across a Northern Virginia ambulatory network during sustained high-demand periods, expanding visit capacity without additional facilities.
Supported health system growth through new site openings, market densification, and operational readiness planning.
Implemented regional performance governance and executive reporting aligned with enterprise priorities and board accountability expectations.
Maintained regulatory readiness and quality performance through periods of rapid growth and workforce pressure.
