Rachel Goodman Joins American Telemedicine Association Leadership Council

Foley & Lardner LLP partner Rachel Goodman has joined the American Telemedicine Association’s (ATA) Leadership Council.

As a member of the ATA’s Leadership Council, Goodman will convene with senior-level executives from top-tier member organizations to facilitate collaborative problem-solving and expedite practical solutions to today’s health care challenges. ATA Leadership Council members will meet twice each year to help health care leaders prepare their organizations for the future.

Goodman, a member of Foley’s Health Care Practice Group and national Telemedicine & Digital Health Industry team, represents a wide array of clients on transactional and related regulatory issues in the health care industry as well as matters involving telemedicine, digital health, remote patient monitoring, and virtual care. She regularly advises investors, entrepreneurs, and startup businesses on a variety of developing legal areas in the health care arena, including the creation and implementation of scalable telemedicine programs.

Foley is a corporate member and longtime supporter of ATA. Partner Nathaniel Lacktman, who is chair of the firm’s Telemedicine & Digital Health Industry Team, is a member of the ATA Board of Directors. In the last year, partner Thomas (T.J.) Ferrante was selected to serve on ATA’s Policy Council and senior counsel Aaron Maguregui, chair of the ATA’s Data Work Group, has helped lead the development of both ATA’s AI Principles and Health Data Privacy Principles.

Foley’s Telemedicine and Digital Health Industry Team helps organizations and entrepreneurs embrace emerging issues in virtual care, enabling them to provide innovative care for patients in new markets around the block and around the world. Nationally recognized by Chambers USA, where clients have called Foley “the premier firm for telehealth counsel,” “a market leader in telemedicine issues,” and “the Dream Team,” Foley’s Telemedicine and Digital Health Industry Team members are frequently recognized for their unparalleled insight and knowledge of the industry.

As the only organization completely focused on advancing telehealth, the ATA is committed to ensuring that everyone has access to safe, affordable, and appropriate care when and where they need it, enabling the system to do more good for more people. The ATA represents a broad and inclusive member network of leading health care delivery systems, academic institutions, technology solution providers and payers, as well as partner organizations and alliances, working to advance industry adoption of telehealth, promote responsible policy, advocate for government and market normalization, and provide education and resources to help integrate virtual care into emerging value-based delivery models.
