She developed targeted outreach engagement methods and tracking techniques to address high risk plan members’ chronic conditions for Johnson and Johnson, which have been adopted as standard operating procedures.

Kathy partnered with hospital administration, physician leadership, onsite pharmacy to develop quality healthcare programs, improve access to care and the creation of a dynamic culture of wellness. The collaboration resulted in increased preventive and condition based care gap compliance by 60%, over a 5-year period; increase in preventive care compliance by 50% for mammograms, colonoscopies, pap smears, and annual physical examinations within a 1-year period.

She is enthusiastic about collaborating and educating with local hospitals and providers more effectively to enhance employer health strategies to provide consistent quality care, health information and reduce health plan cost.
