Hollar joined the ThedaCare team in July 2021 with more than 30 years of health care experience.

She’s also held the roles of Director in Innovations and Strategy, Manager of Information Services, Internal Consultant for Strategic Sourcing, and Director of Clinical Informatics for other health systems, just to name a few. Hollar currently resides with her family in the Shawano area and has tremendous insight into the needs of individuals living in those rural communities.
