Mrs. Rahaman is a program administrator with considerable senior management experience in correctional, military and general healthcare facilities. Developed throughout her over 30-year career in health services, Mrs. Rahaman has gained valuable experience and excellent practice in turning around poorly-run facilities through rigorous applied management techniques. While adept at identifying system failures, Mrs. Rahaman’s true specialty lies in instituting the change necessary to make failing or flagging institutions successful by implementing replacement systems that enhance operations in all areas – from program management to budget control to policy development to motivational efforts.

Prior to that, she worked as a correctional healthcare manager for CMS and MHM managing both medical and mental health programs in prisons and jails. She has also worked in the VA system as a nurse manager and served in the US Air Force as a Nurse Manager, Flight Nurse Instructor and evaluator.
