Sandra Copenhaver Brings Decades of Legal Expertise to CarePoint as New General Counsel

Sandra Copenhaver, JD, who boasts over 25 years of legal experience across a broad range of disciplines, including corporate law, healthcare compliance, and international regulatory matters, has been named CarePoint’s new General Counsel.

In her role, Copenhaver will lead CarePoint’s legal and compliance functions, provide counsel on regulatory and employment matters, support corporate governance, and proactively manage legal risks across the multispecialty practice.

“I’m honored to join CarePoint and build on the foundation established by the company’s current and former legal teams,” Copenhaver said. “My focus will be on streamlining processes and identifying additional opportunities to deliver the highest level of service across the organization. In today’s ever-evolving and increasingly complex healthcare environment, the legal department plays a vital role in helping us adapt, stay compliant, and protect our physician owners and employees.”

Copenhaver comes to CarePoint from Air Methods, one of the country’s largest air ambulance companies, where she spent eight years as associate general counsel and chief compliance officer. At Air Methods, she advised on healthcare and privacy-related issues, provided day-to-day support to the clinical leadership team, and supported the healthcare billing and payer strategy functions. She also designed and implemented the relaunch of a compliance program for the company’s large (5,000 employees) and geographically diverse workforce.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Sandra to CarePoint. She brings an exceptional range of legal expertise to our organization. Her global perspective and deep understanding of the complex legal landscape in healthcare will be invaluable as we continue to evolve and grow as a physician-owned and led practice.”

Prior to her time at Air Methods, Copenhaver tackled a little bit of everything in the world of law, from securities law on the East Coast to mergers and acquisitions in England to Food and Drug Administration approvals for new medical devices in Scotland and just about everything in between. She also owned her own practice for several years before joining the Air Methods team.

Copenhaver graduated cum laude from the University of California College of the Law in San Francisco and holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Utah. She’s licensed to practice law in Colorado, New Jersey, New York, England, and Scotland.
