## Transcript

On today's episode of Achieving Health, I'm joined by my new co-host Sean Stack. We'll share the latest policy and legislative updates from Washington, D.C. for the week of June 10th, 2026. Stay tuned. This is Achieving Health, a podcast from Forvis Mazars, where we delve into the topics that matter most to healthcare organizations across the continuum of care. Our goal is to help you navigate the dynamic healthcare landscape and achieve health at your organization.

Welcome to Achieving Health. I'm Chad Mulvaney, Director in the Healthcare Practice at Forvis Mazars. Thank you for joining us. And I say us because I am very excited to be here today with Sean Stack. Sean recently joined Forvis Mazars as a director in our healthcare practice. He'll be co-hosting the podcast with me moving forward and he'll be a great addition to the show. I've known Sean for many years. He's a wealth of knowledge and certainly know many of you as well know Sean. Sean, first of all, welcome to the show.

Happy to be here, Sean. Happy to be here, Chad. Sean, why don't you, for those of our listeners who may not have had the opportunity to hear you before or meet you, why don't you tell them a little bit about your background, how you came to healthcare and your role at Forvis Mazars outside of being a podcast host?

Sure. Thanks, Chad. Absolutely. I joined Forvis Mazars this past April as director within their healthcare reimbursement practice.

And as you know, it's really a busy time in those spaces. My background spans healthcare policy, reimbursement strategy, market analysis, and operational finance. So I've had the chance to work across both the policy side and the day-to-day realities of revenue cycle and performance improvement.

Before joining Forvis Mazars, I spent time in leadership and advisory roles with organizations like HFMA, HMA through Burns & Associates, and the Ohio Hospital Association, and also within a large academic medical center and designated cancer hospital.

Across those roles, I've worked closely with state Medicaid agencies, help shape healthcare policy positions, support association-level strategy, and partner with providers to tackle access challenges, reimbursement pressure, and overall operational performance.

And honestly, I'm really excited and humbled to be at Forvis Mazars. I've worked with the team here for years, and I've been a big fan of the firm and the team since my early days at the Academic Medical Center over a decade ago. So it's a bit of a full circle moment for me. Obviously, great background and certainly excited about the value that you're going to add to the podcast.

So Sean will also join the Washin...
