Mariana Health bridges the gap Data Analytics and Healthcare Executives
Mitch Laird, MBA
With over 17 years in healthcare, including a decade of leading high volume orthopedic and spine service lines to consecutive annual growth and programmatic clinical distinction, Mitch possesses a unique background that includes both business development and operational improvement. Additionally, Mitch brings administrative experience in successfully navigating alternative payment models, an asset that has been valuable in the development and methodology of Mariana Health. His extensive understanding of the modern healthcare landscape offers a detailed, microscopic view of the operational challenges healthcare organizations face. One aspect that is unique to Mariana Health is the personal, front-line experience in the healthcare industry that both Mitch and Cody bring to the table. We've been in the boardroom, we've sat across from physicians, and we've delivered results.
Cody Goodwin, PhD
Cody leads the data analysis leg of Mariana Health’s services with over 15 years of analytics experience and a Doctorate in Bioanalytical Chemistry from Vanderbilt University. Like Mitch, Cody’s experience with orthopedic/spine service lines in more than 90 hospitals offers clients a more expert approach to growth strategy than other healthcare consultants. Cody’s additional experience with digital health startups diversifies his perspective of organizational growth strategies. His research as a Project Leader for the analytical research division of two U.S. contracts (ATHENA and Rapid Threat Assessment), among other projects, can be found in the following publications: Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences (2013), Journal of Natural Products (2013), Analytical Chemistry (2014), and Metallomics (2015).
Every healthcare organization is different with varied objectives and nuanced company cultures. Cody and Mitch's combined professional experiences make Mariana Health more accessible and nimble than other firms.
