Welcoming Ladan Rykiel as Interim Executive Director
As we continue our search for an Executive Director, The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics is pleased to announce that Ladan Rykiel will be stepping into the role on an interim basis. Ladan’s more than 20 years of experience in healthcare administration and billing will lend itself to strong leadership during this transition.
In 1993, Ladan began her career as the founder of Healthcare Management Group, a medical billing company which she built and grew into a successful organization before selling the company in 2008. She then served as Senior Vice President/ General Manager of Billing Operations at Origin Healthcare Solutions, and was later promoted to Senior Vice President of Strategic Accounts. She came to The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics as Practice Administrator for the Chesapeake Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine care center in February 2014, and has been a committed and active member throughout her time at the care center.
Since joining The Centers, Ladan has tirelessly served on a number of committees including the Administrator’s Cabinet, Employee Benefits & Personnel Management Committee, Information Systems Committee, PM Task Force, Retirement Committee, and as chair of the Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) Committee. She has been a regular contributor to the CAO newsletter, providing key internal updates surrounding RCM. Her experience in these varying roles has given her a deep knowledge of The Centers’ clinical and business operations.
On behalf of the Leadership Team, please join us in welcoming Ladan to her new role!
