I wouldn't call them strategies as such, they may be better described as tactics or approaches because they are specific, temporary and short-term generally speaking You are talking about moving from "project manager in technology" to "project manager in healthcare"  and this is a very much tactical thing >> What you need to focus on is twofold

  1. Improve and prove your project management competencies to the new client (healthcare org) 
  2. Beef up your industry knowledge with "healthcare" basics, learn the language and master its jargon

Hopefully, this answer helps
