Optimum Healthcare IT hosted a panel in the CHIME theater during ViVE 2026 in Los Angeles to talk with two major health systems and their successful cloud journeys.
Northeast Georgia Health System CIO Chris Paravate and Duke Health senior directors Allen Coleman, MMCi and Jeff Volkheimer share lessons from cloud journeys—what to plan before migration, how to govern during execution, and how to optimize after—so executives can reduce risk, drive value, and transform. Joining the conversation were Optimum Healthcare IT SVP of Cloud Services Curtis Hendrick and CHIME EVP and Chief Operating & Innovation Officer Keith Fraidenburg.
