Meet Alana Perry Health Care Analyst
Across our network of hospitals, we understand the important role health funds play in providing patients access to the best practice private health care services we provide. So too does Alana Perry, Health Care Analyst who is a very important part of our Health Fund team. What are your key responsibilities? Health fund negotiations, data analysis, health fund audit coordination across the group, health fund contract interpretation and support for the Healthe Care group. When did you join Healthe Care? I was Chief Financial Officer for Continuum Healthcare since 2010, the previous owner of Hurstville Private Hospital. When Healthe Care purchased Hurstville Private in 2012, I became Finance Director at Hurstville. In 2013 I joined the Health Fund team and moved into our Head Office.
What are your likes and hobbies? I love to play soccer during summer and winter. I also enjoy any outdoor activities and especially love adrenaline sports such as bungy jumping, sky diving, snow skiing and much more, and my kids are actively following in my footsteps. Tell us one thing your colleagues don't know about you. I am an avid horse lover and hope to own my own horse one day – a dream which I have had since a very young girl.
What is the best thing about working at Healthe Care? Healthe Care is a fast paced dynamic company and I like the challenge of keeping up with the numerous changes that we are faced with every day. I also really like the interaction with the various Health Funds and I find the process of contract renegotiations stimulating and challenging.
Out and About During October, Healthe Care had the pleasure of hosting some of our health fund providers along with hospital management, doctors and partners for a relaxing day at Everest Race Day, Randwick.
