Prior to joining HMA, Lindsay served at Blue Shield of California Promise Health Plan. While there, she took on the task of improving Medi-Cal literacy across the Blue Shield of California workforce. She incubated novel education channels, developed Medi-Cal learning modules, and led the change management effort to drive adoption of these new resources.

Also during her tenure at Blue Shield Promise, Lindsay oversaw process improvements for the Medi-Cal Account Management and assisted in contract interpretation during annual audits and regulatory implementation projects.
