Executive Leadership

  • Chad Toujague, CAA

    Mr. Toujague is a principal with Medical Impact Partners. In 2015, Chad Toujague founded Halo Health, an anesthesia staffing company to help the oldest-running public hospital in the United States continue their surgical services. This public/private relationship allowed the hospital to drastically improve its volume, outcomes, and efficiency to continue for an additional 4 years. Until recently, Mr. Toujague led the Halo Health Anesthesia team and specialized in Trauma, Obstetrics and Cardiac.

    As CEO of Halo Health, Mr. Toujague was able to grow Halo from a small staffing company based out of a single site in Washington, D.C. into a multistate operation encompassing over 15 hospitals and 10 hospital systems. In 2019, Mr. Toujague co-founded Halo Education (now Global Health Initiative), a company based on increasing access to graduate-level clinical degrees. These efforts continue with Global Health Initiative, which is dedicated to the creation of OCOM in a strategic location that will serve a community in need.

    Mr. Toujague’s current goals are in line with his role as managing partner of the Global Health Initiative, LLC and Medical Impact Partners to diversify the medical professions field and increase access to higher education. Our focus is on the development of OCOM, delivery of quality education, and the fostering of clinical relationships that lead to improved teaching, improved clinical outcomes, and true community impact.

    The Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine will play a pivotal role in supporting not only the physician shortage in Florida, but globally. Through teaching methods that make complex concepts “sticky,” our goal is to ensure that the highly qualified physicians who graduate from this institution will be able to act deftly in critical moments and be thought leaders in their specialties. Mr. Toujague is focused deeply on the quality of the student experience, clinical site development, and improving public health and healthcare accessibility in the region.

    As a reflection of his commitment to student success, Mr. Toujague has forgone all of his salary, dedicating it instead to need-based scholarships for OCOM students.

    Mr. Toujague is a board-certified anesthesia provider (CAA) and holds a Masters of Anesthesia from Nova Southeastern University and a BS in Biomedical Sciences from the University of South Florida. He is also currently pursuing a doctorate in Engineering and Machine Learning, furthering his commitment to innovation and the integration of technology into medicine and education.
