Cassie Brown

I am a seasoned nurse with sixteen years of experience in various areas of nursing practice, including homecare/hospice, ICU, public health, and ambulatory care. After six years of direct patient care, I transitioned into a variety of leadership roles within the nursing field. Since 2020, I have been serving as the Director of Clinical Informatics/Information Technology at Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Health and Human Services in Onamia, MN. In this role, I have focused on leveraging technology to improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes within our organization. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing: Nursing Informatics degree from St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minnesota. My expertise in nursing informatics has enabled me to lead initiatives that address healthcare inequality, health disparities, and the digital divide within the American Indian community I serve.

As the project lead in implementing Epic at our site, I have successfully enhanced our healthcare services and improved patient care outcomes. My experience and dedication to driving positive change within our healthcare system align with my goal of advancing healthcare and well-being for the American Indian population. I am a key stakeholder in fostering a culture of innovation and excellence at Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Health & Human Services to establish a premier healthcare system.
