Meg welcomes Lori Daugherty, CEO of Ascellus, a physical and behavioral health provider for injured workers that provides customized treatment options through CBT practices, as well as medical care for injured workers. With a network of over 1,500 licensed clinicians nationwide, Ascellus works to improve resilience, health outcomes, and reduce costs for workers’ compensation claims and minimize time spent away from work.
Meg and Lori discuss the barriers to mental health care access, the needs of employees, how Ascellus bridges this gap, and how the healthcare ecosystem can follow. Lori reflects on her 30 years of experience, her leadership and ways to cultivate leadership in others, what she’s proud of, and how the landscape has changed post-COVID.
Lori is experienced in Medicaid, Medicare Part B, third-party contracting, administration, client services (both public and private), and working with early-stage healthcare companies to develop their infrastructure and maximize growth. She is also a member of the Tampa Bay Business Journal Leadership Trust, where she shares her expertise and inspires future leaders in the field, much like those who have helped inspire her.
