Preeti Campanella Director of Nursing

I am passionate about Home Health Care because it allows me to combine clinical expertise with compassionate, patient-centered service that truly transforms lives. I began my career in 2012 as a Home Health Nurse, where I discovered a deep calling to care for fragile children and adults with complex medical needs, including tracheostomy and ventilator management, G-tube care, oxygen therapy, seizure support, infusion therapy, psychosocial well-being, and complete assistance with activities of daily living. These early experiences gave me a profound appreciation for the challenges and rewards of private duty nursing and strengthened my commitment to supporting both patients, families and the nursing staff who serve them. As I advanced into a Case Manager role, I gained extensive experience in care coordination, interdisciplinary collaboration, and navigating complex insurance and regulatory systems. Today, as Director of Nursing at Team Select Home Care, I integrate both my clinical background and administrative expertise to lead with empathy, perspective, and accountability. My journey has shaped me into a well-rounded leader who balances regulatory excellence with a passion for delivering safe, effective, and compassionate care in the home setting.

Corey Beiswanger Director of Operations

I am originally from Stafford, Virginia, and grew up as the son of a U.S. Marine Corps officer. I attended Longwood University in Farmville, Virginia, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Sociology. From an early point in my career, I knew I wanted to pursue work that allowed me to make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. I began my professional career as a Foster Care Social Worker with the Roanoke County Department of Social Services, supporting children and families through challenging circumstances. I later transitioned to working with adults with disabilities as an Employment Specialist, helping individuals find meaningful employment and providing the support they needed to maintain long-term success in the workplace. In 2019, my wife and I decided to take a leap of faith and move to sunny Florida, settling in the Tampa Bay area. It was there that I began my career in healthcare with Integrity Health Services, now Team Select Home Care, as a Healthcare Recruiter. The position was a natural fit because it allowed me to continue helping others - connecting families of medically complex children with the nurses they needed - while also building a career in the healthcare industry. I eventually had the opportunity to help launch our Ocala office, where I served as Director of Operations for three years. I later transitioned to our Jacksonville office, where I currently serve as Director of Operations.

Leanna Bryant Chief Clinical Officer

I am a healthcare executive and U.S. Navy veteran whose career has been shaped by a simple belief: exceptional patient care and strong organizational health go hand in hand. As Chief Clinical Officer for Team Select Home Care, I bring more than three decades of healthcare experience to leading clinical and operational transformations, always with a focus on what genuinely improves the lives of patients and the teams who care for them. My career began in the U.S. Navy, where I served as a Hospital Corpsman. That experience instilled in me a mission-first mindset that continues to guide every leadership decision I make. I later became a Registered Nurse, and my clinical foundation still shapes how I approach operations—not as abstract systems, but as the everyday experiences of patients and caregivers. Throughout my career, I have focused on building collaborative, transparent teams where people feel trusted, valued, and supported. That commitment has helped cultivate strong employee retention and healthier organizational cultures. I am passionate about connecting technical innovation, day-to-day operational needs, and clinical quality. I have also guided organizations through complex initiatives, including mergers and acquisitions, integration, and regulatory compliance, without losing sight of the patient at the center of every decision. As a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, I approach growth thoughtfully, helping ensure that as organizations expand, the quality and integrity of care grow alongside them. I am also a dedicated mental health advocate, and that commitment informs my holistic view of healthcare—one in which patient well-being and employee well-being are essential parts of the same mission. At Team Select Home Care, I remain focused on what matters most: ensuring that every patient feels genuinely cared for and every team member feels equipped, supported, and valued in the work they do.
