Former MedCerts COO and CPO to Lead Healthcare Growth, Workforce Partnerships and Outcomes Strategy

ARLINGTON, VA / ACCESS Newswire / August 13, 2026 / Online education platform StraighterLine today announced that Dana Janssen has joined the company as general manager of healthcare. He will oversee the company's healthcare strategy and growth initiatives.

Over the past several years, StraighterLine has expanded its investment in healthcare education to help learners earn industry-recognized credentials and prepare for in-demand careers.

"Healthcare represents one of the greatest opportunities to connect education with meaningful careers," said StraighterLine CEO Matt Hulett. "That's why we're committed to helping build the healthcare workforce of tomorrow."

Janssen has more than two decades of experience growing career-focused education businesses.
