For National Case Management Week 2018, we asked a few Network Managers and Paradigm Medical Directors to comment on the role Network Managers play in achieving the best outcomes for catastrophically injured workers.

Elizabeth Sandel, MD | Paradigm Medical Director

“The Paradigm Network Managers are absolutely the best case managers I have worked with over the decades.”
