John Henry Raskin

I am an on-fire Jewish believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha-Mashiach, Light of the World.

I am active in homeless street ministry the past 15+ years as a volunteer chaplain for the San Fernando Valley Rescue Mission's Survival Outreach Services program, Men's Ministry leadership and music ministry. I am a published poet, and singer-songwriter who has been a recording artist on Casablanca Records under the name Bugs Tomorrow.
I still play in the clubs of Los Angeles on rare occasions. I am happily married to the love of my life, Donna.

Professionally, I am a Healthcare Executive Recruiter. I have a passion for what I do and enjoy positive interaction with healthcare professionals of all disciplines who share the goal of improving access to and the quality of patient services across the continuum of care. I believe that a high functioning, positive and motivated individual in an administrative position in a managed Health Care company can be a champion for this goal. I pride myself on personal ethics and look for that in my clients and in the potential candidates I seek for them, in all areas of healthcare operations.

I endeavor to identify clients and candidates that are on the enlightened side of managed care, and tend to eschew those that lean toward pushing patients through the continuum of care rapidly as the only way to control utilization costs. I prefer to work with clients that have embraced innovative clinical and administrative technologies that support and enhance the physician/patient relationship and lead to wellness and healing as primary goals. These clients understand the value of putting resources into involving patients in their own well-being and understand the benefit of keeping patient's disease-states and overall physical health well managed up-front as a better and more effective way of controlling cost in the long term.

Specialties: I place C, VP, Director, Manager-level and Specialists in all areas of managed healthcare operations. This includes Medical Management, Claims, Contracting, Revenue Cycle/Coding, Finance, IS/IT, Sales/Marketing, network/business development, Clinical Administration, and other areas.
