In the latest episode of Medical Imaging Matters, AHRA Executive Director Jason Newmark sits down with Lisa Walling, CRA, to talk leadership, community impact, and the power of leaning in to growth.

Lisa walks us through her Leaders of Choice capstone project, a powerful screening initiative that is making a real impact on her community. After raising the bar to increase screening by more than 50% — including one exam that had life-saving effects — her team was able to strengthen community trust and redefine what’s possible when you collaborate across service lines. 

Tune in as Jason and Lisa trace her journey from discovering AHRA in 2022 through a My Way session to becoming a visible, connected voice within the association.

Lisa shares how the Leaders of Choice program pushed her beyond her comfort zone, built her confidence, and gave her the tools to help her team deliver extraordinary outcomes for patients and the Oklahoma City Indian Clinic.

Leaders of Choice is a 12-month leadership learning experience from AHRA, sponsored by United Imaging, and facilitated by Traction Business Development. The program prepares senior imaging professionals to be the confident, next-level leaders needed to manage the increasingly complex healthcare environment. In addition to growing business, presentation, and financial skills, participants are challenged to be bold thinkers, capable of changing the status quo and choosing the path forward for their organizations.
