Wisconsin – Prevea Health is pleased to announce the appointment of Jason Helgeson as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. 

Jason has been a part of the Prevea family for more than 20 years, first as a licensed athletic trainer and then serving in various leadership roles in departments such as orthopedics and neurology. He most recently served as Vice President of Operations, helping to oversee the completion of many major developments including the Prevea Regional Orthopedic Center at HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital Medical Center, and the new Prevea St. Mary’s Health Center in Green Bay. 

“Jason is also taking the lead on the development of a new ambulatory surgery center, the first in Prevea’s history which is set to open on Green Bay’s west side later this spring,” said Dr. Ashok Rai, President and CEO at Prevea Health. “He has shown great leadership on this project, and many others including our vast, community COVID-19 testing and vaccination efforts. We are pleased to welcome him to his new leadership role at Prevea.” 

As Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Jason will continue to focus on leadership development, and implementing strategic plans related to how and where Prevea Health can continue to grow and make a positive impact on its patients and communities.
