CONNECTING SOCIAL CARE & HEALTH CARE

Jane Pirsig has over 30 years leadership experience in mental health, social service, and aging services. Jane led the successful integration of Milwaukee’s oldest family service agency into Aurora Health Care (now Advocate Aurora Health), a $5 billion regional healthcare provider, establishing innovative services in clinic social work, social service navigation, chronic illness supportive counseling, public benefits counseling, emergency department interventions with high utilizers, targeted home visitation services for families of high risk infants, and training in medical family therapy.
Jane is a subject matter expert in the translation of social care integration from concept to operational reality. Since 2018 Jane has advanced local and national innovation and collaborations in addressing social determinants of health through work with electronic health record provider EPIC, Wisconsin Association of Child & Family Agencies (WAFCA), Root Cause Coalition, and Social Current, the national social action network of over 1,000 social care leaders.

SERVICES
THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
Expert Guidance
Social Care and Health Care leaders are building the future as it happens. On the local and national level, I bring my expertise and experience into current discussion, research and operations, drawing on research-based frameworks, best practices in the field and a wide range of professional relationships and networks.
STRATEGIC PLANNING & EXECUTION
The Path to Success
From environmental assessments and service design,through on-site implementation and ROI reporting, I work with Board of Directors and their Senior Leadership teams to forge a social care/health care strategy unique to their organizations, their partners, and their community, drawing on national best practices and local relationships.
PARTNER ENGAGEMENT
The Platform for Success
Social Care and Health Care are incredibly complex environments, each with their own deep expertise and "rules of engagement."Â As a fluent interpretor of culture and language, I join operation teams to co-develop solutions that bridge potential communication and operation issues, especially in new and early partnerships. Contact me to find out how I can help today.
EXECUTIVE TRANSITION
A Bridge To The Future
As your Interim Executive leader, I can advance key Initiatives forward, while steading the ranks, supporting thoughtful planning, recruiting and onboarding of a new leader, or transitioning to a new C-Suite structure. Whether its an Accreditation visit in 4 weeks, the facility build-out 4 weeks behind schedule, or the strategic plan fading on the back shelf, a skilled Interim can propeluncertainty into success.
