After 9 years of traditional family medicine, Dr. Nedeau switched gears and joined one of the largest, global, healthcare IT company in the world.

Dr. Nedeau worked passionately with the technology and user-experience teams to improve the ambulatory physicians’ workflows while eliminating inefficiencies.

In April 2020, Dr. Nedeau left the corporate world, bringing 9+ years of experience in healthcare IT, research/development/design, quality improvement, and virtual health into her solo practice, Bloom Integrative Health.
