Posted on March 13, 2023

While attending Heritage, Matthew Simpson (‘03) discovered his desire to serve others and make an impact in their lives. Heritage is also where he met his wife of 15 years, Jamie (Woodburn), and says meeting her was the best thing that happened to him at Heritage. He also recalls “the wonderful teachers who invested so much in our lives” and attributes his Heritage education for positioning him well for college.

After graduation, Matthew continued his education at Indiana University (IU) where he earned his bachelor’s degree in entrepreneurship and international business. After a few years in the workforce, he entered the MBA program at Duke University, where he earned a master’s in health sector management and corporate finance.

Matthew spent seven years as a consultant advising large academic health systems around the country and has held several roles throughout the past six years in Laboratory Administration and Support Services before taking on his current role as Vice President, Talent Acquisition at IU Health. In addition to his role at IU Health, Matthew also serves on the board of directors for Coram Deo Academy in Carmel, where three of his five children attend.

When asked what he loves most about his role in Human Resources at IU Health, Matthew said, “I love improving processes and making sure people have the resources and support they need to be successful.” He finds joy in working for an organization whose mission is to improve the health of our communities. In the near term, Matthew plans to stay at IU Health where he is focused on attracting great team members to a variety of open positions.
