Presenters:
Molly provides strategic counsel to community health centers, healthcare organizations, and state and national associations on a full spectrum of legal, compliance, transactional, and governance matters. Her counsel helps organizations design effective legal structures, policies, and agreements that mitigate risk, ensure compliance with federal and state requirements, and support long-term sustainability and mission alignment.
Dianne Pledgie advises federally qualified health centers, behavioral health organizations, and other non-profit entities on compliance program development and implementation. Dianne specializes in privacy and security matters, including HIPAA, 42 C.F.R. Part 2, and the Information Blocking Rule, assisting clients with policy development, incident response, and regulatory compliance.
Carrie specializes in transactional and federal grant-related matters. Ms. Riley’s clients include a wide array of nonprofit health care entities, with a focus on Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and behavioral health providers. Ms. Riley helps her clients navigate the complex web of programmatic requirements and fraud and abuse laws in the context of implementing transactions between providers.
Joella Roland provides broad-based health care guidance with a focus on the federal 340B drug discount program, privacy, and Medicare regulation. She understands the complexities that exist within the current regulatory environment and best practices for helping clients navigate it.
Peggy Tighe deciphers and interprets highly complex healthcare matters and translates them into action. She teams up with health systems, patient groups, and provider organizations to develop persuasive policy arguments and strategies to influence Congress and relevant agencies, creating change to protect and support providers and the patients they serve.
