In 2015, Armijo started her tenure in hospital operations as an Associate Administrator for UPHS Marquette, where she oversaw ancillary and support departments and led the team to build a new 200-bed hospital tower and new medical office building. She also assisted with Gastrointestinal and Cardiovascular program growth. 

Before LifePoint, Armijo worked for Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) for eight years in multiple roles both at the division and corporate levels, leading and supporting clinical systems and programs for the company.  She started her health care career at Tallahassee Memorial Medical Center, a 777-bed hospital, and led multiple large facility construction and program growth projects.
