A health care consultant offers up insight for fellow Falcons

Josh Hollander ’96 is well-versed in navigating the health care industry from the nonclinical side. As the director of value-based care at Clearway Pain Solutions, a physician group focusing on comprehensive pain management, he specializes in the necessary business functions that enable and pay for care, whether it’s contracting with insurance companies or developing new payment models. In 2019, the Computer Information Systems major returned to campus to speak at one of Professor Danielle Hartigan’s classes. The experience inspired him to continue engaging on a wider level. Today, he hosts a monthly virtual “power lunch” open to Bentley students, alumni and staff that focuses on timely topics in health care and offers up group discussion.

What inspired you to start the “power lunches”?

I knew there were many nonclinical people from Bentley in health care, so I started reaching out to them on LinkedIn. There is something unique about the culture at Bentley that makes connecting with other alumni very warm. It’s very much about giving to the greater community.

What has been rewarding about giving back to Bentley?

It’s meeting the individuals. To me, it’s the idea of leveraging these motivated Bentley students who have a flair for business, and identifying health care as a career opportunity.

You lead the virtual events, but what have you learned through them?

I’ve learned more about my industry than I could have without these events. This network from Bentley has provided me with experts. All the time, I reach out to folks with questions, advice, sometimes ask for connections or about jobs. And I get as many or more asking me for the same thing. So it’s a back-and-forth.
