Juana Quick
President, queue
Working with healthcare strategist Kanoka Oishi-san, Juana explored the inner workings of how a
hospital in Japan functions in comparison to our experiences here in America. From interviews with
hospital CEOs, to various doctors and other healthcare experts, she was able to gain a first-hand look of
the inner workings of a hospital — everything from the impact of the Japanese culture on their health
care system to wait times, patient satisfaction, marketing and how they measure ROI.
Cutting her teeth in retail, Juana learned marketing and branding
first-hand from the brand giant of specialty retail — Neiman
Marcus. After a lengthy career as Marketing and Public Relations
Director there, she worked with other industry giants such as
Aetna and General Electric, where she became a certified Six
Sigma Black Belt. For the last 15+ years, she's been making
things happen on the agency side with an attention to detail and
dedication to strategy that keeps everyone on their toes.
Juana is an active Board Member and Past President for the
Virginia Society of Healthcare Marketing and Public Relations,

in Washington, DC, former Board Member of NAWBO (National
Association of Women Business Owners. Juana has also served

memories of fun times at Emerald Isle and the Atlantic Beach area still keep her close to the water...just
in South Carolina these days.
