Stephanie Turner, RN, MSN

Vice President, Population Health Services & Clinical Operations
UNC Health

Stephanie Turner began her career as a family nurse practitioner in rural, suburban and employer-based clinics for more than 16 years prior to transitioning into healthcare leadership. Ms. Turner has directed the expansion and transformation of UNC Health Alliance’s embedded and centralized care management teams, delivering care within ambulatory and independent practices affiliated with the organization.

Over the past several years, her team has exceeded targets for reducing patient utilization through a variety of interventions including complex case management of the highest risk patients in outpatient and post-acute settings, a robust transitional case management program, and comprehensive care coordination services such as annual preventive visits, implementation of an integrated behavioral health model, and nutrition therapy services in primary care practices. Operational teams under her leadership support those potentially lost to follow-up, gap closure and resource coordination through strategic scheduling, abstraction, go-live implementation and community services.

Ms. Turner earned both a Bachelor of Nursing with honors and a Master of Nursing from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
