Be Advised: Mary Free Bed CFO Shares his Story and Talks Mission and Margin
In the newest episode of the Mary Free Bed Advisory Group podcast, Be Advised, we are joined by Ryan Podvin, MBA, chief financial officer of Mary Free Bed.
Ryan knows first-hand the challenges and value of excellent rehabilitation. In 2010, Ryan sustained a spinal cord injury and received inpatient rehabilitation for several months at Mary Free Bed.
After graduating from rehabilitation and re-learning how to walk, Ryan developed a new passion for health care, and earned his MBA with a finance emphasis. He then returned to Mary Free Bed as an intern and worked his way through Human Resources, Finance, Accounting and the Revenue Cycle departments.
In 2021, Podvin was promoted to CFO, where he is helping grow the Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation System for value-based care and to be a transformative partner in post-acute care.
In this episode of Be Advised, Ryan discusses:
- His own story of rehabilitation
- Why mission is important
- How to maximize margins without jeopardizing values
- Ways rehabilitation programs can be more efficient
- Complicating factors of revenue cycle management
- And more!
Be Advised is hosted by Joyal Pavey, vice president of the Mary Free Bed Advisory Group. Listen to the episode here, or wherever you get your podcasts.
