Senior Vice President of Quality and Clinical Operations
Schwingel, who joined Heritage in 2017, will utilize her nursing background and executive leadership experience to further improve the quality of care throughout Heritage’s 16+ communities. As well as overseeing the expanding clinical and quality teams, she will facilitate the company’s ongoing move from a social model to a medical model, particularly in terms of refining clinical standards and utilizing technology and partnerships to better identify and fulfill medical needs.
“Heritage is committed to promoting innovation throughout the company, particularly in terms of care,” says Pierre Verger, Heritage’s chief operating officer. “Jaime’s unique skillset and vision have helped make Heritage a place that not only feels like home for our residents, but also offers the clinical excellence they deserve.”
Within the past year, Schwingel’s efforts have resulted in several unique clinical partnerships, including an intensive research partnership with UW-Milwaukee and one with Medication Management Partners (MMP), which has helped Heritage create a first-in-the-nation pharmacy-initiated order entry process.

His in-depth knowledge and connections within the industry position him well for this new role, through which he will create and nurture partnerships, drive referral sources and provide sales and marketing training and support throughout the organization.
“Creating a care-based culture is only one component of changing the industry,” says Verger. “With someone like Jason on the team, we are able to communicate our vision outward and connect with those who can help us further it.”
