CLEVELAND, OH, UNITED STATES, November 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Visiting Nurse Association of Ohio (VNA of Ohio), a trusted community health partner for more than 124 years, is proud to announce the appointment of Jackie Newbert, as its new Managing Director, effective December 1st. A seasoned healthcare executive with more than two decades of leadership experience across home health, hospice, assisted living, and community-based services, Newbert will help guide the organization through its next phase of growth under the h/care platform.

With a distinguished background leading multi-site operations, driving clinical excellence, and strengthening organizational performance, Newbert brings a proven record of results. She has served in key leadership roles including Director of Operations for Wellspring Home Health and Hospice, Area Administrator for LHC Group’s Cambridge Home Health, and Director for BAYADA Home Health Care, where she delivered measurable improvements in census growth, quality, financial performance, and staff engagement.

Her career began in clinical settings and expanded into high-impact administrative leadership across Ohio and Maryland. Newbert is also a retired U.S. Air Force E-7, where she developed the disciplined, mission-driven leadership style she is known for today. She holds both a Master of Business Administration and Bachelor of Business Administration from Mount Vernon Nazarene University.

“Jackie is the exact type of leader our organization needs at this moment—experienced, operationally sharp, clinically grounded, and mission-aligned,” said Ryan Haller, CEO & Founding Principal of h/care. “Her passion for quality, her operational discipline, and her commitment to serving patients and staff will support our vision to build Ohio’s most trusted home health, hospice, and behavioral health platform.”

Newbert will oversee all day-to-day operations of VNA of Ohio’s home health, hospice, and behavioral health service lines—ensuring operational excellence, advancing clinical quality, developing leaders, and strengthening relationships with hospital systems, payors, and community partners. She will also play a central role in VNA of Ohio’s modernization efforts under h/care, including workflow redesign, talent development, technology integration, and market expansion.

“I am honored to join an organization with such a powerful legacy of serving Ohioans,” Newbert said. “VNA of Ohio stands at the intersection of history and innovation, and I’m excited to help lead our teams in delivering exceptional care, supporting our clinicians, and expanding services to meet the growing needs of our community.”
