Leadership & mentoring
All fellows are partnered with primary preceptors who serve as mentors and advisors. Fellows are invited to participate in meetings with senior administrative leadership and the sponsoring and primary preceptors. These meetings often involve senior-level management from the platforms, institutes and executive leadership team.
Preceptors will include the following senior administrators:
Hospital Operations Central Region Track
Megan Brosious
Chief Administrative Officer, Central Region
Clinical Operations Track
Jeffrey Adams
Hospital Operations Northwest Region Track
Tammy Anderer
AJ Hartsock
Hospital Operations Northeast Region Track
Ronald Beer
Innovation and Research Fellowship Track
Emily Fry
Candice Laubach
Three co-directors also provide active oversight and strategic guidance for the fellowship program:
Matthew Van Leeuwe
Chief Administrative Officer, Hospital Services
“The Administrative Fellowship program at Geisinger develops new and emerging leaders by blending business strategy with the importance of compassionate care. Through these experiences, fellows will be better prepared to serve as effective partners with the clinical teams for a healthier tomorrow.”

“Geisinger feels like working with a family. We all collaborate to do what’s best for our patients and employees. Our fellows bring a breath of fresh air into our family. We welcome great ideas and encourage a fellow’s hunger to learn. I often feel like I’m learning from them! I hope our fellows leave the program with a good foundation of the skills they need to manage and lead any team in healthcare. I also hope they gain a sense of the importance of getting involved in the communities we serve and the education of future fellows/students.”
Alexis Duda
Strategy & Planning Consultant, Strategy
MHA, MPH, University of Iowa
BS, Syracuse University
“In my experience, Geisinger is passionate about continuously improving and innovating the way we deliver care and manage total health in partnership with our patients, members and communities. As valued members of the team, our fellows bring perspective, ideas and a passion for advancing healthcare. Our program is designed to allow and encourage fellows to explore their interests while developing the foundational functional competencies for success in their careers post-fellowship. It is my hope that the fellows gain all of this and more through the program, including lifelong friendships and personal growth.”
Lacey Foller
Program coordinator
“The Geisinger Administrative Fellowship program is a fantastic program. The program offers talented and aspiring young professionals interested in healthcare administration the opportunity to experience hospital management and better develop their leadership skills. This has been an enlightening experience for me. I am honored to be a part of this program to offer support to all of the fellows.”
