Edie Newman
Edie is a first-year fellow at UVA Health, bringing with her a passion for healthcare and a wide range of experiences. Originally from Rochester, Minnesota, she began her journey in public health at Tulane University in New Orleans, where she earned her Bachelor of Arts and developed a deep appreciation for community health. After graduation, she returned to her snowy roots to pursue a Master of Healthcare Administration at the University of Minnesota.
While in Minneapolis, Edie volunteered as an activities coordinator in the memory care unit at The Waters of Plymouth, where she found joy in creating meaningful moments for residents. Her professional path has taken her across the healthcare spectrum, from interning at the Mayo Clinic to working at a critical access hospital in rural Wisconsin. She also explored the startup world during her undergraduate years at HB Healthcare Safety. Most recently, she completed a summer residency in the innovation department at UCHealth in Aurora, Colorado.
Edie is drawn to the dynamic nature of healthcare and enjoys problem-solving to improve patient outcomes and team collaboration. She is excited to be part of the UVA Health community, where she hopes to grow as a leader and help foster a culture of transparency, empathy, and excellence.
Outside of work, Edie is a proud cat mom to Banjo and Ziggy. She recharges by hiking, practicing hot yoga, and exploring Virginia’s food scene in search of her next favorite restaurant.
