Founder · Patient Advocacy Lead

Amanda Alcodia

Amanda founded Rerouted Health after fifteen years inside U.S. healthcare operations. She writes and edits most of what Rerouted publishes today.

Background

Her career began in medical records in a Southern California nursing facility and expanded across hospitals, skilled nursing, hospice, home health, detox, medical records and compliance, up to facilitating deals at the C-suite level.

In her words

I spent fifteen years in U.S. healthcare operations. I sat in the meetings where the decisions about patients get made.

I saw how much easier everything gets the moment someone in the room knows the rules — and how rarely that someone is on the patient's side. So I switched sides.

"I don't have a degree in healthcare administration — I have a PhD in experience."
