Kathy Galia has been named the chief operations officer of Paradigm, Catastrophic Care Division.

The role will go into effect on September 9. She will be taking over for Scott Goll, who is retiring after serving as chief operations officer for 25 years.

“Kathy is the rare individual we were looking for; her strategic business, operational and clinical knowledge of acute injuries in the workers’ compensation industry stems from experiences at a large insurer and in nurse case management,” said Kevin Turner, chief executive officer of Catastrophic Care Management.

Galia will work closely with Turner, as well as chief medical officer Michael Choo. She joins Paradigm from The Hartford Fire Insurance Company, where she led their Medical Solutions business.

With a background as a registered nurse and nurse case manager in the workers’ compensation industry, she is highly qualified to provide top-notch care for injured workers.

“Paradigm’s industry leading data set and unparalleled team of nurse case managers, clinicians and leading physicians, working in collaboration with claims administration and medical management partners to deliver the best possible outcomes for injured workers is the industry’s gold standard and the reason I’m excited to join the business,” stated Galia.
