Background

About Ashley Henninger

I am a speech-language pathologist with a diverse background spanning clinical care, rehabilitation leadership, and healthcare relationship management. My experience sits at the intersection of clinical expertise, operations, and strategic growth within complex healthcare environments.In my current role as a clinical liaison for an acute inpatient rehabilitation unit, I serve as a key partner to physicians, case managers, and hospital teams, facilitating appropriate patient placement while supporting service line growth. I regularly evaluate patient needs, navigate medical necessity and insurance requirements, and coordinate admissions in a fast-paced, high-volume setting. Through consistent outreach and relationship development, I contribute to expanding referral networks and strengthening provider engagement across both internal and external stakeholders.Previously, as a director of rehabilitation, I led interdisciplinary teams, oversaw daily operations, and drove performance in metrics-focused environments, balancing clinical quality with operational and financial outcomes.I bring a strong ability to communicate complex clinical concepts clearly, build trust with diverse stakeholders, and identify opportunities to improve access, efficiency, and overall program growth.
