Lana J. Waud
President/CEO

I feel amazingly fortunate to work in a field I enjoy and have a passion for. Let us put that passion to work for you.

Caring for the elderly has long been a part of Lana’s life since first volunteering at a Skilled Nursing Facility in high school. From there came several enjoyable and challenging years as a CNA while earning her Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting at Pacific Lutheran University where she graduated with Honors.

After completing both the CPA and CMA designations, Lana started her career as a Long Term Care professional. She has 23 years of accounting experience with over fifteen devoted to the LTC industry. She has enjoyed mastering all aspects of the daily workings of the business office, including corporate financial areas. This has given her a diverse background in every component of reimbursement; billing, information systems, software conversions, a/r implementation & a/r management.

Her success in reducing receivables and her experiences with agencies that were universally ill-equipped to efficiently work SNF receivables convinced her of the tremendous need for an alternative. SNF Solutions was created to address this need, your need.

Lana is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Institute of Management Accountants, HFMA (Healthcare Financial Management Association) and AAHSA (American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging).
