Alisuag, MN, MA, CFP Cora Alisuag is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Aliron International, Inc., a diversified global company that she founded in 1989. Headquartered in Washington, DC, the company provides health-care solutions and resources for clients throughout the world primarily in four distinct areas: healthcare operations and management, environmental technologies, information technologies, and educational programs. With advance degrees in health care and business-related fields Alisuag is well-suited to oversee the operations of such a diverse company. She has been involved in multiple facets of health-care delivery for more than two decades. Among them are operations and management of healthcare services for the U.S. Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration in 16 states in the continental United States and around the world, including operations in Germany, Italy, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Guam, Panama, and Hawaii covering a total of 19 time zones. She also invented CORANET, an electronic medical records technology that utilizes smart media cards containing fingerprint biometrics-a program that was funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality Division of the National Institutes of Health in collaboration with the Los Alamos Advanced Computing Laboratory and Intelligent Automation, Inc. Alisuag's deep personal commitment to the environment is apparent in Aliron's use of state-of-the-art environmental technologies in its portfolio of healthcare (disease preventative) programs. That commitment began with her concern for infectious medical-waste management, which is an integral part of healthcare delivery. In early 2002, she created HEAL (Healthy Environment for Advancement of Life), a foundation devoted to developing programs to clean up solid and toxic wastes in third world nations, beginning in the Philippines. Under her leadership, Aliron International, Inc., successfully piloted 13 never-before-outsourced projects for the U.S. Department of Defense around the world under the 8(a) program, including one project mandated by the U.S. Congress. And in collaboration with the U.S. Small Business Administration, the Offices of the Surgeon Generals of the U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force, she spearheaded an initiative to increase the Small Business Size Standard that was published in the Federal Register, and subsequently passed into law in December 2000.
