Darcie Peacock serves as CEO of Solace Pediatric Healthcare, bringing firsthand clinical experience to her leadership role. She began her career as an occupational therapist making home visits to families, an experience that shaped her conviction that organizational success depends on prioritizing clinician wellbeing over pure operational efficiency.
Her leadership approach emphasizes accessibility and professional development, including regular informal check-ins with employees at all levels and a leadership training program that has reached more than 100 staff members. She is also outspoken about the barriers women face in business, encouraging confidence and visibility around their accomplishments. Under her guidance, Solace has kept staff turnover low while maintaining high employee and patient satisfaction, and she argues that prioritizing the wellbeing of clinicians, rather than chasing financial metrics alone, ultimately produces better outcomes for patients and families.
