Taking Charge of Healthcare Costs in a Changing World

Debra Geihsler, Activate Healthcare
Learn about how an onsite/near-site primary care clinic can positively impact the health of your employees while improving the bottom line of your organization.

About Debra Geihsler
Debra Geihsler is the former CEO of the Harvard Vanguard Medical Group in Boston, Massachusetts and Advocate Healthcare in Chicago, Illinois.

In her career as a health care executive, Debra Geihsler, Principal and Co-founder, has personally managed hundreds of primary care clinics, ambulatory clinics, and other similar medical treatment facilities. Her extensive health care background enables her to effectively guide the development and operations of on-site clinics. Ms. Geihsler’s experience allows Activate Healthcare to help the client manage the full range of patient care. This is a critically important factor as most health care costs are incurred outside the clinic.

Matt McCuen is a 22-year veteran in the self-funded arena. McCuen joined GPA in 2000 and has played an integral role in the creation and rollout of many innovative programs including Cost Plus, a solution to control healthcare costs and the lack of transparency in the industry. During his tenure, GPA has experienced significant growth as a company and has been recognized in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes Magazine, the New York Times and numerous online publications as a model Third Party Administrator (TPA).
