HealthLinks South Carolina choose to recognize Heidi Collins, CEO as an impressive Woman in Health recipient for 2025. Heidi Collins has dedicated nearly 30 years to carving out a respected place for herself in the traditionally male-dominated field of orthotics and prosthetics. “I’ve had to work harder to establish my reputation, demonstrate my expertise, and earn the respect of my male colleagues,” she explains. “But I’ve learned to combine technical precision with the compassionate, patient-centered care that many women naturally bring to the table, making my approach unique.”
