Swinford has been CEO of Numotion, a provider of mobility and independence solutions, since 2014. He led efforts for benefit coverage determination for power wheelchair seat elevation systems in 2023 and is actively leading efforts for power standing wheelchairs and reform of service and repair regulations and reimbursement levels.
Prior to Numotion, Swinford spent 22 years at GE Healthcare, including serving as the president and CEO of GE Healthcare Services and as an officer of General Electric Company. He held various operational and commercial roles throughout his career leading through various business cycles from start-ups to turnarounds. He also serves as a director of CareATC, a technology-enabled population health primary care provider, as well as a director of Aspen Surgical, a global surgical supply manufacturer.
“As someone who is passionate about improving healthcare access and inclusion for people with disabilities, I am excited to join the board of directors of Lifeward,” said Swinford. “I look forward to bringing my knowledge of the industry and my experience with CMS coverage implementation to help Lifeward further its commercialization strategies for the benefit of the disabled community.”
“Mike Swinford brings unique experience and familiarity with the industry and reimbursement to our board,” said Jeff Dykan, chairman of Lifeward’s board. “He has a remarkable track record that is an excellent fit with our focus on commercialization and expanded access to devices for physical rehabilitation and recovery, and his commitment to furthering opportunities for people with disabilities is an inspiration to us all. This is another step to increase the direct commercialization skills and experience within our board.”
