The importance of leadership development is a topic rarely covered in the standard law school curriculum. But for Caren Weakley, vice president and managing general counsel, risk, for Radiology Partners, the largest physician-owned radiology practice in the U.S., this development is intrinsic. Since joining the company in 2019, Weakley has overseen everything from litigation and […]
Features Healthcare
Christina Wahlig – Marathon Health
Christina Wahlig loves the feeling she gets after a run; the adrenaline flowing, the endorphins giving her that unmistakable “runner’s high.” She relishes her daily run, which not only offers inspiring views of Vermont’s scenic landscape, but also a valuable opportunity to recharge. As the general counsel for Marathon Health, Wahlig needs all the energy […]
Loretta Cecil – Change Healthcare Inc.
As she helps Change Healthcare inspire a better healthcare system, General Counsel Loretta Cecil is also guiding its new approach to addressing legal and compliance issues. Conventional models for public companies separate the legal and compliance teams. However, when Change Healthcare was created in 2017, Cecil insisted on following her vision of a single organization […]
Steve Rinkle – PRS
This could be his home someday, an innovative and amenity-rich senior community taking shape at Arizona State University that, upon its expected opening later this year, could serve as a template for other campuses. But at least for the foreseeable future, the 60-something Steve Rinkle will be quite happy in his home on the wild […]
James Joslin – RQR Partners
Not that long ago, Jim Joslin remembers an age of high-powered corporate meetings, when executives would fly into a city multiple times to sort things out. Often it was a slow—not to mention expensive—way to get things done. These days of COVID-19, however, are certainly breaking that mold. But back before the pandemic even hit, […]
Ed Phillips – Mon Health
Nothing fills the heart of Ed Phillips like seeing a mother cradle her newborn or watching a patient successfully work a new set of crutches after a hospital stay. Both instances, he says, show elements of renewal and healing, what Mon Health is all about. His introduction to hospitals traces back to his rough ‘n’ […]
Blaire Bernard – Iora Health
Your physician has made an unsettling diagnosis. It may not be life-threatening, but it needs attention quickly and the care isn’t fully covered by your Medicare insurance plan. The resulting stress—wondering when the bills will arrive, and how to decipher and pay them—is a nerve-wracking experience shared by millions of Americans. Since 2011, Boston-based Iora […]
John Daly – Southern Illinois Healthcare
When new Vice President and Chief Information Officer David Hakanson started at Southern Illinois Healthcare recently, General Counsel John Daly breathed a sigh of relief. It was great news. Having a new CIO who understood the benefits of—and was familiar with—the latest contract tracking database system was a boost to the legal department at the […]
Matt Cameron – Akumin Inc.
No one looks forward to getting an MRI. But Matt Cameron wants people to know that this stress-inducing procedure is not only easier than ever; it’s also becoming more and more convenient to schedule and undergo. That’s the premise behind Akumin Inc., where Cameron serves as the general counsel and senior vice president, leading the […]
Greg Bassi – Lumere
It was a process building up for weeks—and like the Tom Petty tune, the waiting was the hardest part. But for Chicago-based Lumere—a provider of evidence-based data and analytics solutions—being acquired in January by Colorado-based Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX)—a healthcare business and data automation company—was worth it. As Lumere’s General Counsel Greg Bassi tells it, […]
