Today The Leapfrog Group announced the 2025 Bruce Bradley Fellowship class. Part of the Judie Burrows Education Institute and named in honor of The Leapfrog Group's first Board Chair, the fellowship supports mid-career professionals taking a proactive role in encouraging employees and their families to pursue higher value health care.
The Fellowship is a year-long education and training program for corporate-health professionals who want to take an active role in steering employees and their families to safer, higher-quality hospitals and health systems.
This year’s fellows have expertise in health care consulting, benefits program creation and human capital management. They will participate in a yearlong education and leadership development program designed to help employers and purchasers of health care benefits advance safety and quality.
The 2025 Bruce Bradley Fellows are:
- Donita Doubet, Program Manager, Dallas-Fort Worth Business Group on Health
- Ashley Kempa, Senior Client Executive, Gallagher Benefit Services
- Rachel Ungar, Director of Research and Data Analytics, The Economic Alliance for Michigan
“We are excited for this year’s class of fellows to foster strong connections with Leapfrog as they continue to advocate not only on the national and regional levels but also within their local communities,” said Jill Berger, Senior Advisor of Employer and Payor Engagement, at The Leapfrog Group, who oversees the Bruce Bradley Fellowship Program. “These exceptional individuals have demonstrated their unwavering commitment to advancing transparency and driving meaningful transformation in health care.”
Named in honor of Bruce E. Bradley, former Director of Health Care Strategy and Public Policy for General Motors Health Care and the inaugural chair of The Leapfrog Group Board of Directors, this fellowship provides participants with invaluable expertise in measuring and advocating for the quality and safety of hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers, as well as strategies for effective steerage. Upon completion of the program, fellows will emerge as respected leaders, guiding and empowering employers to make informed decisions in selecting safer, higher-quality health care facilities and health systems.
