About

Sydni N. Howard believes the key to success lies in the details; any detail whether it be business, personal or fashion. She has a passion for community work focusing on educating youth on self-esteem and college preparation. As a child, Sydni dreamed of being a lawyer and impacting people’s lives by focusing on civil rights. Never did she imagine creating global health education, focused on hospice and palliative care. Now, after caring for her mother through her cancer journey and having learned so much about health and healthcare at end of life, Sydni is extremely enthusiastic about educating everyone she encounters about the importance of preparing oneself and family regarding final wishes.

Sydni is currently the Director for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at Central Ohio Primary Care. Her diverse career in healthcare led her to this position because she believes in making the healthcare environment more reflective and accessible to all.

Outside of work Sydni enjoys cooking, bowling, hosting family and friends for game nights, watching jeopardy and learning the new word of the day!
