Susan Crowley, Care Wisconsin’s Senior Vice President of Government Services, provides leadership and oversight of several key areas, including Provider Network, Marketing, and Regulatory Affairs. She came to Care Wisconsin six years ago “on a mission to serve low-income elders and persons with disabilities.” Crowley’s deep experience in the public sector is an incredible asset to Care Wisconsin.

Before coming to Care Wisconsin, Crowley served as Director of Dane County Human Services, Director of Prevention and Community Initiatives for UW-Madison, and Long-Term Care Administrator for the Department of Health Services. Her passion for helping others extends beyond the workday. She’s volunteered for and held board positions at numerous organizations like Journey Mental Health and Goodwill Industries of South-Central Wisconsin.

Gina Groskopf

Executive Director of Long-Term Care Services

When Gina Groskopf came to Care Wisconsin in August 2007, she already had a strong background in non-profits: her previous work in case management saw her coordinating care for people with intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities, as well as the elderly. Later, she developed programs and services to assist these populations in addition to managing the staff, budget, and program operations for the organization. This work was a good fit for Gina’s gregarious personality and provided her a variety of perspectives to witness the challenges and triumphs members accomplish on a daily basis. Using these experiences as motivation, Gina started with Care Wisconsin as a Regional Director for Family Care, leading program implementation efforts across the state before rising through the ranks to her current role as Executive Director of Long Term Care Services, in which she develops and oversees high quality, cost-effective long term care systems.

In her free time, Gina enjoys reading, spending time with her family, and trying out different exercise classes.

Angela Seidl

Compliance Officer and Vice President of Quality and Regulatory | RN, BSN, CHC

Leading the development, implementation, and maintenance of these mission-critical programs is Angela Seidl, our Compliance Officer. Angela is uniquely suited for this role, as she began her career as a national security intelligence analyst in the United States Air Force before switching gears and obtaining her nursing degree.

Angela has spent her career designing and delivering healthcare and support programs to vulnerable populations. While working as a community health nurse in Hawaii, for example, Angela developed and implemented a domestic violence screening program. Providing services in that community helped prepare her for her first role at Care Wisconsin in 2001, when she became an RN Care Manager with the Partnership program. After demonstrating strong leadership during several expansion initiatives and a desire to get more involved in the regulatory side of the organization, Angela became Compliance Officer in 2015.

During her free time, Angela loves to spend time with her family, reading, gardening and cooking. She’s an avid camper and loves exploring the state of Wisconsin.
