Lori Sapp

Lori Sapp is a seasoned healthcare and medical-device professional serving as Business Development Manager for Hanger in Northeast Ohio. With approximately 25 years of experience in orthotics and durable medical equipment, she began her career as an X-ray and cast technician before becoming a BOC-licensed orthotist. Her clinical and technical background has given her extensive expertise in bracing and orthotic solutions, including leg, knee, and back orthoses, while her personal experiences as an athlete and parent have deepened her empathy for patients navigating injuries and mobility challenges.

Before joining Hanger, Lori spent more than five years with University Hospitals, where she served as Supervisor of Durable Medical Equipment and Community Liaison and helped establish and expand a new DME department from two locations to more than 30. Today, she combines her clinical knowledge with business development and community outreach, working closely with physicians, therapists, clinicians, and patients to increase awareness of innovative prosthetic and orthotic technologies. She is particularly passionate about helping people discover newly available and insurance-covered bracing options that can improve mobility, confidence, and quality of life.

Beyond her professional responsibilities, Lori has demonstrated a strong commitment to strengthening her local community. As president of S.P.A.C.E. (Southeast Pirate Athletic Community Endeavor), a role she has held since 2006, she has helped raise more than $1.5 million to improve athletic facilities and opportunities for students in a rural school district, including supporting the development of a new six-lane track. Through both her healthcare career and community leadership, Lori reflects a commitment to service, education, accessibility, and helping people recognize possibilities that can lead to fuller, more active lives.
