Elliott's role with VCU Health integrates the academic health systems' organizational plans with its operations with the goal of improving the performance of VCU's integrated health systems. Elliott joined VCU Health in March 2022 after serving as the senior vice president and chief transformation officer of Centra Health in Lynchburg. He is also a graduate of VCU, holding a doctorate in pharmacy and a master's degree in health administration.
