RANDY VAN STRATEN
Vice President, Business & Community Health, Bellin Health
As Vice President of Business & Community Health at Bellin Health, Randy and his team have developed a highly successful strategy that is helping employers in Northeast Wisconsin not only control, but in some cases lower their health care costs, all while improving the health of the companies’ employees and their family members. Randy’s team works directly with employers to identify areas of health risk and then create solutions that improve health while controlling costs.
Randy’s diverse health background of more than 34 years with roles in Community Health, Sports Medicine, Physical Therapy, and Occupational Health have proven invaluable to his current success, enabling him to bring a unique perspective and creative solutions to Bellin’s clients and population segments beyond employers.
Randy is also in his 22nd year of being the Executive Director of the rapidly growing Bellin 10K Run that has captured national attention and ranked as one of the 10 largest 10K runs in the nation after attaining 20,000 registrants. The growth has been over 400% in his tenure and a reflection of the success the race has had in helping the community develop healthy lifestyles with innovative programs like the Kids for Running Program and the Corporate Challenge.

LAURA L RADKE, MD
Medical Director, Occupational Health Services, Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin
Email: laura.radke@froedtert.com
I am a native of Milwaukee and have spent my entire life in the metropolitan area. I attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Target MD Medical Honors Program, graduating in 1986. Through this program, I started medical school at the Medical College of Wisconsin in 1985 and graduated in 1989. Given my love for the area, I decided to stay and completed my Internal Medicine residency and Infectious Disease fellowship through the Medical College of Wisconsin Affiliated Hospitals. I was initially board certified in Internal Medicine and subsequently Infectious Diseases. While working in an infectious disease private practice, I was approached by the healthcare system and asked to become Medical Director for employee health. Over the next few years, my work evolved to include travel medicine and ultimately the opening of a clinic for external clients. Since then, my practice has increasingly focused on the care of workers. I became a Medical Review Officer in 2000 and maintained that certification to date. Having worked for ProHealth Care in Waukesha, WI for 12 years as medical director of employee health and occupational health, I came to Froedtert in 2018, rejoining colleagues I worked with 20 years earlier in the role of Medical Director of Occupational Health Services. I am a certified DOT medical examiner and am active in the ACOEM in the Medical Center Occupational Health and Public Safety Medicine special interest sections. I currently have oversight for 7 occupational health clinics serving external clients in Southeast Wisconsin as well as our own employees and those of Wisconsin Diagnostic Labs and the Medical College of Wisconsin, including their learners and housestaff.

Dr. Larry Earl (MD)
I’m Dr. Larry Earl (MD) and I’ve owned and operated multi-site, multi-state Urgent Care and Occupational Medicine centers for over 40 years.
As president & CEO of NAOHP, I support our members in pursuit of excellence in their employer-directed services and continue consulting and training for clients ranging from independent medical practices to billion-dollar healthcare organizations.
We asked members and occupational health professionals across the nation what they are looking for to help them with their occupational health & blended urgent care programs. We received an overwhelming response from people – AND – We listened.
We changed many things around, and provide our members with the resources, and strategies that really work in the industry. Our CONTINUED goal is, and will be, to listen and supply the needs within the occupational health industry (operations and business, business development, and marketing).
Your business needs to operate like a well-oiled engine. There are lots of moving parts, and our experienced team can help you put it all together. We don’t just teach it – we live it.
Progressing with the ongoing changes, NAOHP remains the core development of occupational health operations, which also includes the specialized fields of business development/marketing, wellness, telemedicine, urgent care, population health, employee health, and more.
It’s simple – at the end of the day, professionals are looking for ideas on how to grow their occupational health business, and stay ahead of their competition. Whether you’re new to this business or adding occupational health to your menu of services, we will teach you how to market your program, what other services you need to be offering, and provide you and your staff with the necessary tools to develop a successful program!
