Cape May County Resident Joins Paradigm’s Catastrophic Care Division

Dennis Township resident Kathy Galia is the new chief operating officer (COO) of Paradigm’s Catastrophic Care Division, effective Sept. 9. Galia is taking the place of Scott Goll, who is retiring from the position after 25 years.
According to CEO of Paradigm Catastrophic Care Management Kevin Turner, “Kathy is the rare individual we were looking for; her strategic business, operational and clinical knowledge of acute injuries in the workers’ compensation industry stems from experiences at a large insurer, and in nurse case management.”
“Paradigm’s industry leading data set and an unparalleled team of nurse case managers, clinicians, and leading physicians, working in collaboration with claims administration and medical management partners to deliver the best possible outcomes for injured workers is the industry’s gold standard, and the reason I’m excited to join the business,” stated Galia.
Galia will work closely with Paradigm’s Catastrophic Care Management executive team, including CEO Kevin Turner, a workers’ compensation industry veteran, and Chief Medical Officer Michael Choo, MD. 
Galia joins Paradigm from the Hartford Fire Insurance Company, where she spent the past 10 years in strategic leadership and medical case management roles, most recently leading their Medical Solutions business.
At the Hartford, she was responsible for developing new product services and offerings in the healthcare space, as well as setting and executing medical strategy across both workers’ compensation and disability, overseeing teams responsible for medical and ancillary networks, pharmacy strategy, behavioral health programs, as well as case management.
