ECS North is proud to introduce you to a very valuable member of our team…Jade Wagner.

Jade joined the ECS team in February of 2019.   He is a Claims Specialist where his primary responsibilities are ensuring that claims are submitted accurately and claim submission rejections are processed timely.  His attention to detail translates into paid claims for our clients.    

Jade graduated from Fremont Ross High School in Ohio.  In his spare time, he enjoys boating, kayaking, hiking, and traveling.  He has no pets, but he would love to have a pet raccoon as they are his favorite animal. 

Jade finds inspiration hearing people’s success stories and he strives to better himself daily.   He stated that his favorite part of working at ECS North is his co-workers. Jade said, “We all have our own experiences working in different departments and everyone is always willing to help each other with questions to get issues resolved.”

When asked what his funniest moment at ECS North was, how often he scared Kit Shellhouse (VP) when he walked around corners of the building and would run into her.  She never would see him coming and would be startled each time.  Him scaring her was never intentional it was just “timing” and each time it occurred it would make him laugh at her reaction.   

Jade had this to say about why he loves working at ECS North: “We are not a team because we work together. We are a team because we respect, trust, and care for each other.”

ECS North is proud to introduce you to a very valuable member of our team… Brogan Jones.

Brogan joined the ECS team in January of 2017. She is a Payment Application Specialist where her primary responsibilities are ensuring that our team posts all payments accurately, the deposits balance and claims that are underpaid are tracked and sent to the Collection Specialists to ensure that her clients receive all the money they are due.

Brogan has an associate degree in Office Administration and is currently working on her bachelor’s degree in HR Management. She has three children (Daelan, Tyson, Freya), three stepchildren (Nakyia, Fred, Dominic) and one grandchild (Kairo) ranging in ages from 21 to 1. Her favorite tradition is spending time with her family especially during the Christmas season. She keeps busy in her spare time attending her children’s sporting events, visiting her husband’s family in Pittsburgh, PA and her hobby is cooking which everyone in her family benefits.

Brogan finds inspiration in her children. She said that she always wanted to be a mother and they give her every reason to be determined and push herself beyond what she ever thought was possible: pursuing the dreams she never thought she was capable of.

She stated that her favorite part of working at ECS North is the group of amazing people she works with. Brogan said “it is just like having another family. At the beginning of 2020, my husband had suddenly fallen very ill. I did not expect anything, but everyone at ECS stepped in to help anywhere they could. Everyone worked around the crazy schedule I was attempting to juggle with my husband in the hospital, work, and my children. We were given gift cards and meals just to help with the situation. It meant everything to me, and I could never truly pay it back.”

When asked what her most memorable moment at ECS North was, she said it is the Christmas parties throughout the years. She enjoys spending a relaxing and enjoyable time outside of the office with her co-workers. Unfortunately, this year due to COVID the Christmas party is virtual, but ECS North is making the best of the challenging environment of the pandemic.

Brogan had this to say about why she loves working at ECS North: “The quote by Paulo Coelho sums up my experience. ‘When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.’ This is so true, regarding ECS North. It has been proven time and time again, that when we work together as a group, we all become better, not just us as individuals.”

ECS North is proud to introduce you to a very valuable member of our team…Abbey Luzader.

Abbey joined the ECS team in October 2009.   She is a Senior Account Manager where her primary responsibilities are working closely with her clients managing their revenue cycle.  She works with payers and her team to maximize revenue opportunities to increase collections.  

Abbey has 2 children – Lex who is 14 and Dharma who is 18.  She also has 2 pets.  An adopted deaf American Bulldog named River and a cat named Darla.  Abbey said jokingly that sometimes she will confuse her daughter’s name of Dharma with the cat’s name of Darla when yelling at one or the other.   When she is not working or being a “chauffeur to her children, Abbey loves to be outdoors as much as possible in her free time.  When the weather turns cold and limits her outdoor activities, you can find her in the kitchen baking.   

One of Abbey’s favorite family traditions occurs at Christmas.  Her extended family lives far away so on Christmas Eve she will make a big international themed dinner. Then they will do a fun family activity such as bowling, board games, or going to the movies.  After, they will open gifts that her family sent. 

She stated that her favorite part of working at ECS North is that each day is never the same.  New challenges present themselves and she works with a great team who collaborate toward a common goal of taking care of the clients.

When asked what her funniest moment at ECS North was, she said for 11 years out of force of habit she has parked in the same spot in the company parking lot.  Every evening she will walk out and turn right to go to her car.    There have been a few occasions when she has parked in other spots that are right in front of her, but she still turns right.  She then will stand looking at the empty space wondering where her car is.  She always laughs when she realizes she parked somewhere else and then at what other’s must be thinking when they see her standing looking at an empty parking spot.

Abbey had this to say about why she loves working at ECS North:  “Over the years as a team we have made amazing strides together.  I’m so fortunate to be part of and help lead such an inspiring, progressive, and enthusiastic group of individuals.”
