🏈 Carmel office team member Karen Hickner scored a touchdown with Rising’s recent IWCI Seminar exhibitor display. For this year’s “One Team Tailgate Party!” theme, Karen’s cleverly designed truck bed was the ideal backdrop for her and Tim Rankin to share how Rising’s field case management services provide advocacy-based care and cost savings for high exposure claims.

At Rising, our goal is to make every client feel like our only client—and our VP of Client Relations, Todd Brown, embodies this objective. Before every visit with Cook County’s Kirstjen Lorenz, Todd learns what bold hair color she’s currently rocking, then coordinates his outfit to match. Whether it’s pink, purple, or another standout shade, it’s become a fun tradition that brings a smile to every meeting. Small, thoughtful gestures like these are what make partnerships personal and demonstrate that living Rising’s “Create Ecstatic Customers” core value is about more than delivering successful program results—it’s about making each interaction authentic and memorable.

Big shoutout to Angela Lanser for winning Rising’s annual Elevate Award for “Process Improvement/Innovation.” Her transition from a compliance reporting role to a business analyst position has been characterized by curiosity, diligence, and a strong desire to understand not only what needs to be done, but why. Leading our efforts to enhance some client capabilities in New York, Angela translated the state’s complex compliance rules into clear, actionable requirements for Rising’s software development and testing teams. Way to take project ownership and improve the customer experience, Angela! 🎉
