Lisa GaRRY
Lisa Garry’s favorite quote is “A woman who walks with God will always reach her destination.” She is president of Countrywide Enterprises LLC, Stroudsburg. Countrywide Enterprises specializes in quality home improvement and commercial construction and remodeling services throughout Eastern Pennsylvania. “We proudly stand behind all our work with complete satisfaction guaranteed,” she noted. Her goal is to be the leading residential and commercial remodeling company in the northeast. “Thanks to our outstanding quality and services, we are ready to handle all your commercial and residential projects in a timely, professional and courteous manner with the finest craftsmanship in the area,” added Garry. Countrywide Enterprises is a family owned and operated business. Garry and her husband, Arthur, run the business. They began in 1987 in New York with two general contracting companies. They ran both of them for ten years. Her husband decided to take a different route and went into investment banking for ten years, while she was a stay-athome mom with three children. Her husband would travel for weeks and it became too much for both of them and their family to handle. They then decided to go back to the basics and reopen Countrywide Enterprises in 2007 in Pennsylvania. In Garry’s spare time she likes to camp with

her family. She has three children ages 27, 25 and 14, and has been married to her husband for 31 years. Garry volunteers for with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

The business woman is the president of Countrywide Enterprises and of Home Solutions Partners and handles all the financial responsibilities for both companies.

Healthcare is very near and dear to the heart of Terri Lupini, chief operating officer at Signallamp Health Inc. “I’ve been in Healthcare for 30 years, so I know my way around a physician setting, I have that edge of knowing how practices think and what issues are most important and understand the constant struggles practices and healthcare systems undergo,” noted the COO. “Our company is extremely unique versus other Chronic Care Management companies out there since we work right within the practice’s EMR electronic medical record. We are able to see real time what’s happening with the patient and have the ability to communicate with providers and staff members complications or issues patients may be having at the time of the phone call.” A Chronic Care Management company that partners with physician practices and healthcare systems throughout the U.S., Signallamp acts as an extension to the practice. “We work with Medicare patients with two or more chronic conditions. Our remotely embedded nurses reach out to patients monthly via phone calls to communicate with patients and relay that information back to the patient’s provider in between office visits to ensure patients are taking proper prescribed medications, following care plan instructions as per their doctors’ recommendations, educating and alerting providers of any acute issues that could lead to ER visits or potential unnecessary hospitalizations,” noted Lupini. “With this added value we are able to keep patients healthier and reduce the risk of additional complications due to their current chronic conditions. Currently we are partnered with 1,000 providers throughout eight states, but hoping to spread nationally within the year.” Her mom, Diane Arnoni who is retired now, was a very well respected practice administrator
for a multispecialty practice in Scranton for 37 years. “My mom was an unbelieveable mentor. She taught by example the meaning of hard work and the satisfaction of a job well done,” she noted. Her admiration for her mom and the success she created made her more passionate for her own success, she admits. She lives by the philosophy of thinking outside the box because you never know when you’ll find that “secret sauce to success.” While healthcare starts with research - one has to read everything you can to begin developing strategies and workflows for what is in store down the road that will fit into your business model. “Heathcare is not easy and constantly changing. Practices face the daunting task of implementing the infrastructure needed to meet the new value-based care objectives while simultaneously juggling business as usual. She is very honored to have been selected as one of the Top 25 Business Women for the NEPA Business Journal, and would like to extend many thanks to her colleagues Drew Kearney, CEO; Andy Goldberg, CFO; and Jen Nicastro, CNO, for nominating her for this prestigious award. Although healthcare is her passion, she also noted that she would not be where she is today without the constant love and support of her husband, Mike, and son, Dominic.
