Bethesda, Maryland - Managed Care Advisors, Inc. (MCA), a woman-owned small business specializing in workers' compensation case management services, employee benefits and disability management consulting, today announced that MCA President and Founder Lisa Firestone was appointed to the Advisory Board of VeteransAid Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)3 organization whose goal is to raise awareness and funds for veterans' issues. Lisa also sits on the Board of Directors of Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP) and is a Co-Chair of their Procurement Committee.
"Lisa is passionate about providing the support and resources necessary to maximize health and productivity for all people, especially those facing physical, economic and social barriers to employment. For many years, she has recognized the importance of integrating employment, job creation and community services in order to be successful in creating and sustaining a productive and inclusive environment for our country's veterans," said Adrian Guglielmo, Co-Founder and Marketing Manager of VeteransAid Foundation. "Improving the lives and livelihoods of individuals with disabilities is not only her company's mission but also her personal passion. We look forward to Lisa's contributions as a member of VeteransAid's board of advisors."
"VeteransAid is an organization that I greatly admire, and its mission to create change in all areas of veterans' causes is one that I can wholeheartedly stand behind," said Lisa Firestone. "I'm really looking forward to working with the Advisory Board to help with all of the amazing things VeteransAid is tackling in 2012."
Lisa has been involved in the healthcare industry for more than 30 years gaining recognition for her expertise in the areas of employee benefit program development, evaluation, and strategic planning. She has been actively involved in the evolution of workers' compensation case management and disability management programs, most recently focusing on the federal workers' compensation and disability systems. MCA has focused significant effort and resources making a telephonic behavioral intervention aimed at avoiding long-term disability available to returning veterans facing barriers to re-integration and assisting them in getting their lives back.
Prior to founding MCA in 1997, Lisa served as Vice President and Principal with Managed Care Options. She started her career in hospital administration at a large university-based medical center, followed by more than six years as a health benefits consultant and practice manager with The Martin E. Segal Company and American International Healthcare.
VeteransAid has launched an aggressive, hard-hitting fundraising campaign for 2012, which will focus on a series of high-profile special events created to celebrate all veterans, engage the nation in patriotism and heighten public responsibility for the many challenges facing the veterans' community. The cornerstone of the 2012 Campaign will be VeteransAid: The Concert, a star-studded musical and entertainment tribute to the 23 million U.S. veterans and their families.
Along with founding partner, HBO, Inc., a division of Time Warner, VeteransAid has been created in response to the growing need for an umbrella philanthropic organization which will raise money and heighten awareness for the wealth of services provided by existing veterans' organizations and their issues. Through corporate partnership, event marketing and proven cause marketing campaigns, VeteransAid seeks to bridge the gap between veterans' needs and the availability of information and services which currently exist.
