Two WellSky executives recognized by national publications as emerging leaders in healthcare
Every day, leaders at WellSky are transforming healthcare for the better—and two such leaders have recently received national honors in recognition of their achievements.
Dr. Lissy Hu, founder and CEO of CarePort, powered by WellSky, has been named to Modern Healthcare’s 2021 class of Top 25 Emerging Leaders. Manik Bhat, co-founder and CEO of Healthify, a WellSky company, has been recognized by Managed Healthcare Executive as one of 10 Emerging Healthcare Industry Leaders in the country.
Modern Healthcare honors emerging leaders under the age of 40 who have made significant contributions in the areas of innovation, financial, operational, and clinical excellence early in their careers. Lissy is recognized for her leadership in improving care transitions and her efforts to accelerate understanding and treatment of COVID-19 early during the pandemic. Under Lissy’s leadership, CarePort has built a broad network connecting 1,000 hospitals and more than 110,000 post-acute providers. In the past year, her relentless drive and unmatched leadership has helped solidify CarePort as an essential tool for acute and post-acute healthcare providers in streamlining safe patient transitions, especially during a global pandemic.
This is the fifth year Managed Healthcare Executive has published its list of 10 Emerging Industry Leaders, honoring the best and brightest in healthcare. Manik has dedicated his career to improving the health of communities by connecting healthcare organizations with social service organizations to address the social determinants of health (SDoH). After working directly with families who struggled to access needs like food, housing, and transportation, Manik co-founded Healthify to build a cutting-edge referral platform to support end-to-end care coordination across a network of healthcare and community-based organizations. WellSky acquired Healthify in August 2021, and together they will provide access to one of the largest social services networks in the nation.
All of us at WellSky are thrilled that Lissy and Manik have received these honors for the tremendous leadership they’ve demonstrated in their efforts to improve care coordination and address health inequities. We’re extremely proud to have them both on the WellSky team!
