Ethics & Bus Goals for IT Prof
Capella University
I have spent 14 years in Healthcare and want to go into healthcare-based cybersecurity. I
decided to choose an organization where I would like to start my tech career, OhioHealth.
OhioHealth is a massive healthcare organization based in Columbus, OH (OhioHealth, 2024). I
chose this organization because it unifies my two career interests, Healthcare and Tech. I have
held many entry-level positions in healthcare, all with the purpose of being able to help others in

Why is a hospital system my first choice? I believe that one day I will go into Governance,

Where many roles would have to correspond for the bigger picture and betterment of others. A
hospital can go through many challenges that would allow someone in cybersecurity an open,

of personal data and payment information and HIPAA, healthcare could be a good steppingstone
to see variety of situations and roles in security methods and policies.
As previously stated, OhioHealth is a healthcare organization based in Columbus, OH. It is a
nationally recognized, not-for-profit, charitable, healthcare outreach of the United Methodist
Church. The Mission of this organization is “To improve the health of those we serve”
(OhioHealth, 2024). As the world has changed and technology has advanced, healthcare has too
