Major General (Ret.) Shanna M. Woyak, USAF, Joins Life365 Advisory Team to Advance Proactive, Connected Care for Service Members and Veterans

Decorated two-star Air Force general and registered nurse who led the largest healthcare transformation in U.S. Department of Defense history will help guide Life365’s CloudCare® strategy to deliver proactive remote care that begins in active – duty service – not at the end of a Veteran’s life.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Life365, Inc., a leading AI-driven virtual care and remote patient monitoring (RPM) company, today announced that Major General (Ret.) Shanna M. Woyak, USAF, RN, MBA-HCM, has joined the company’s Advisory Team. Woyak will advise Life365 on its strategy and engagement supporting the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Defense Health Agency (DHA), working alongside large government prime contractors and the broader healthcare modernization ecosystem to help scale proactive, connected care for active-duty service members and Veterans.

The future of military healthcare is not waiting for illness to escalate – it is supporting health long before a crisis begins.

General Woyak brings an uncommon blend of military, clinical, operational, and financial leadership. Over a 36-year Air Force career, she rose to the rank of two-star general and served as Director of the Small Market and Stand-Alone Medical Treatment Facility Organization for the DHA, where she oversaw operations across 17 markets and more than 100 facilities responsible for roughly one quarter of all encounters in the Military Health System’s direct-care system. She was the first USAF female General Officer to lead the National Capital Region Medical Directorate in Washington, D.C., with responsibility for 60 joint-service facilities, including Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, and support to the White House Medical Unit.

A registered nurse by training, with combat deployments in support of Operation Northern Watch and in Iraq, Woyak also led one of the largest digital health transformations in DoD history — the rollout of the Oracle Health (Cerner) electronic health record across 260+ facilities serving more than 10 million beneficiaries. Her decorations include the Defense Superior Service Medal and two Legion of Merit awards. Today, she serves as President and CEO of Front Gate, LLC, a healthcare and business consultancy, and as a board member at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, the Military Officers Association of America (MOAA), Southwest Medical Imaging (SMIL), and Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health (NOAH), a community health center serving the greater Phoenix area.

“Shanna has lived the mission from every seat — as a frontline nurse, as a combat-deployed officer, and as the executive accountable for the health of millions of service members and their families,” said Kent Dicks, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Life365. “There are very few people who can sit at the intersection of clinical care, military readiness, and large-scale health system transformation the way she can. Her guidance will be invaluable as we work to bring proactive, connected care to those who serve.”

Today, most remote monitoring is used reactively — introduced only after a service member or Veteran becomes a high utilizer of care, often late in life and after a health crisis has already begun. Life365 and General Woyak share a different conviction: that connected, proactive care should begin much earlier in the lifecycle of service — starting in active-duty military service, not at the end of a Veteran’s life.

This “shift left” philosophy is built into Life365’s CloudCare® platform, designed with the VA and Veterans in mind — especially those in rural areas who are hardest to reach. Rather than waiting for illness to escalate, CloudCare uses continuous data, intelligent engagement, and early detection to keep people in a lower-cost, higher-quality state of health. Built on lightweight, low-cost “Lite” technology and solutions deployed proactively, it is engineered to scale from roughly 70,000 Veterans monitored today to millions across the continuum of service — from active duty through transition to Veteran status.

“We ask our service members to be ready for anything, yet we too often wait until the very end of their lives to surround them with proactive care,” said Major General (Ret.) Shanna M. Woyak, USAF. “If we begin monitoring and supporting health while someone is still in uniform — and carry that continuity through their transition to Veteran — we can change outcomes, not just manage them. That is the future I want to help Life365 build for those who have given so much.”

CloudCare aggregates best-in-class solutions on a common platform, intelligently aligns them to each patient’s needs, and protects them through Life365’s robust patent portfolio — spanning data orchestration, wearables, AI-driven sensors, mobile orders, location-based services, and lean operating systems — safeguarding the company’s assets in the new paradigm of connected care. The addition of General Woyak underscores Life365’s commitment to partnering with mission-aligned leaders and the broader federal ecosystem to modernize care for the military and Veteran communities.

AI Enablement Through Human Skills: New Learning-Focused AI Center of Excellence to Help Organizations Advance from AI Experimentation to Measurable Business Performance

AXIOM Learning Solutions, experts in workforce skills development, introduces new focus to support AI enablement strategy and workforce capability development to help organizations focus and realize value from AI investments.

WESTBOROUGH, Mass., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — AXIOM Learning Solutions (AXIOM) today announced the launch of a specialized practice area focused on helping organizations address one of the most common and difficult challenges of the AI era: turning AI activity into sustained capability.

“Using AI tools doesn’t necessarily create value. We’re focused on the skills development and performance support that’s needed to make AI a practical and measurable contributor to business performance.”

The AXIOM AI Center of Excellence addresses the reality of AI adoption: in many cases, employees are using AI tools, teams are piloting new processes and new applications, and leaders are making budget decisions with AI enablement in mind. But many companies lack the structure, workforce readiness, implementation support, and iterative improvement structures necessary to show meaningful value from AI investments. Through this team, AXIOM assists organizations in closing the gap between AI initiatives, human skills, and business goals, with skills development and workforce learning services that meet companies wherever they are on their AI journey.

“People everywhere are using AI, but use of the tools doesn’t necessarily create value,” explained AXIOM partner Jason Ruff. “The real opportunity is helping the workforce to use AI effectively and responsibly in the ways that add the most value to the business. Our AI enablement practice is designed to focus on the skills and support that are needed to make AI a more practical and measurable contributor to business performance.”

The AI Center of Excellence builds on AXIOM’s established strengths in learning and development contingent staffing, strategic consulting, custom learning content, and training delivery. Through the new offering, AXIOM will support clients in four core areas:

AI needs assessment: Identify current AI activity, readiness gaps, workforce capability needs, and opportunities for business impact.

Prioritization and roadmap support: Help leaders focus on the AI use cases and initiatives which have the most compelling and likely effect on productivity, quality, decision-making, or other operational performance metrics.

Workforce enablement and skills development: Creating role-based training, learning content, workshops, playbooks, job aids, and other performance support to help employees use AI confidently and productively.

Implementation support, measurement, and iteration: Provide expert consultants to support learning program delivery, measurement, and to identify further opportunities to improve AI enablement over time.

AXIOM Learning Solutions is a learning services organization, and as such, the AI Center of Excellence is not a technology-driven offering. Instead, the approach centers on business performance and human skills, which is the core connection needed to connect AI-enabled process into business outcomes.

“Successful adoption of AI requires more than just the tools,” said AXIOM partner Herb Blanchard. “With the AI Center of Excellence, we’re able to connect the expertise of our consultant network with companies who are focused on translating AI into a long-term and meaningful source of competitive advantage.”

AXIOM’s AI Center of Excellence is available to support organizations of all sizes, in any industry, and at any stage of AI adoption. Services may be delivered as targeted consulting engagements, training and enablement initiatives, content development projects, implementation support, staff augmentation, or ongoing AI enablement support.

About AXIOM Learning Solutions

AXIOM Learning Solutions helps organizations meet their learning and development goals through contingent L&D staffing, strategic consulting, custom learning content, and training delivery.
