JLL Names Two Execs to Better Serve Healthcare

CHICAGO -- As part of the continued evolution of its healthcare platform, JLL has named Carey Sealy to lead its Healthcare Division’s new Ambulatory and Outpatient Services team, and Ben Bailey will head the Integrated Health and Insurance and Payor segments.

These leadership appointments advance JLL’s sophisticated operating model, strengthening specialization and positioning the firm to better serve clients contending with the increasingly interconnected realities of healthcare delivery, challenging margins and real estate strategy.

JLL’s Work Dynamics Healthcare Division’s modern structure reflects this interdependence as health systems and healthcare organizations manage increasingly complex, geographically distributed portfolios that must support patient outcomes, staff and visitor experience, regulatory compliance, operational sustainability and financial performance.

“This new organization is a critical step in our healthcare transformation, and Carey and Ben’s appointments underscore JLL’s continued investment in specialized leadership, integrated solutions and a healthcare platform designed to advance alongside the needs of the industry,” said Cheryl Carron, Work Dynamics Americas Chief Operating Officer and Division President, Healthcare at JLL.

“By aligning our structure and leadership to how healthcare organizations truly operate, we are sharpening our market positioning, simplifying how we deliver for clients and building the foundation for sustained growth.”

As demand rises and organizations accelerate the shift toward ambulatory and outpatient care, heightened regulatory scrutiny, workforce constraints and compliance complexity are increasing pressure on healthcare operators to do more with fewer resources.

A managing director, Sealy now oversees two practices within JLL’s Work Dynamics Healthcare division, focused on ambulatory and outpatient care, while maintaining strategic oversight of Healthcare Compliance Services and ATG, JLL’s healthcare facilities management and compliance platform.
In her new role, she helps health systems and large healthcare organizations reduce their operational burden, maintain survey readiness across expanding portfolios and drive consistency across distributed ambulatory and outpatient networks.

Sealy previously served as the JLL Global Head of Operational Excellence for Work Dynamics, where she architected the global operating model and led global integrated facilities management (IFM), quality, risk and compliance teams.

Her 30 years of experience spans healthcare operations, regulatory compliance, transformation and technology-enabled service delivery across multiple industries and leadership roles at CHEP, XPO Logistics and Johnson Controls.

“Ambulatory and outpatient growth is creating tremendous opportunity, but also real operational risk if it isn’t managed intentionally,” Sealy said. “By integrating JLL’s ambulatory services with ATG and Compliance Services, we help health systems reduce the strain on their teams, stay ahead of compliance across a growing portfolio and manage distributed complexity by bringing cost transparency, visibility, control and accountability to distributed networks — so every site performs, every facility supports care delivery and portfolio performance advances the mission of care.”

Bailey, who is also a managing director, has extensive experience leading complex, multi-site portfolios and healthcare client relationships across the United States. He now leads both the Integrated Health segment focusing on serving health systems that deliver the full continuum of care and Insurance and Payor team comprising health insurers, a sector increasingly focused on driving down the cost of care through vertical delivery models.

Bailey has a more than 20-year history in facilities and construction across a myriad of industries and has led global accounts, driving portfolio optimization, cost savings and operational improvement. He began his career at JLL in the firm’s Leadership Rotation Program and previously served as a Civil Engineer Corps Officer in the U.S. Navy.

“The industry is facing more intense financial pressure unlike anything in recent memory, and our clients need partners who understand the full healthcare ecosystem, from care delivery to financing to real estate execution,” Bailey said. “This structure allows us to deliver more relevant insights, stronger peer connectivity and operational solutions that help organizations perform better across their portfolios.”

JLL delivers comprehensive real estate and facilities solutions for over 1,400 leading healthcare systems and investors worldwide.
