Thanksgiving is coming, which means it’s time for our favorite podcast of the year: What are You Thankful for in Workers’ Comp? This year, we invited three experts who share very different reasons why they are grateful for comp: Heart of Case Management Award winner Charlene Ramsey, RN, BSN, CCM; Helen Froehlich, vice president of case management; and Donna Bradshaw, vice president of IME Services. We hope their responses lead you to contemplate on your own unique role in workers’ comp and how YOU make a difference in the lives of others.
