Our Founder
Corbett Healthcare Solutions was founded by Dr. Stefanie Jones, a nationally recognized skilled nursing facility regulatory expert with over 15 years of experience. Stefanie has a special affinity for seniors and has devoted her entire professional career to advocating for and advancing the quality of healthcare for the older adult population.
Before founding Corbett Healthcare Solutions in 2014, Stefanie was the Deputy Director of Health Regulation for the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, where she was responsible for overseeing licensing and certification operations to ensure regulatory compliance was enforced at 6,000+ licensed facilities and agencies across the state. In addition to working in the public sector, she has served in various leadership roles in private organizations and academic institutions.
She is best known for her success in rapid financial and regulatory compliance turnarounds, as well as spearheading the development and execution of innovative business strategies. Under her leadership as a licensed administrator, she rapidly transitioned a facility from a 1-star to a 5-star overall quality rating, ranking in the top 10% of all facilities in the nation by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). The facility was recognized by www.msn.com, the US News & World Report, and the American Health Care Association with the Bronze Commitment to Quality Award.
Stefanie developed the content and taught HCPro's post-acute care boot camps. She also established the curriculum and designed courses for the Health Care Administration Concentration for the MBA program at Limestone University and the Master of Health Care Administration program at Purdue University - Global.
