ClearSky Rehab names new CEO

Lucky Denenga Fischer has been named Chief Executive Officer of ClearSky Rehabilitation Hospital of Mansfield. The 30-bed medical rehabilitation hospital provides specialized rehabilitative care to individuals with disabling injuries or illnesses, including strokes, brain injuries, hip fractures, spinal injuries, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and other medically-complex conditions.

Fischer brings nearly 20 years of clinical and leadership experience to ClearSky Mansfield. Prior to joining the hospital, she served as a service line director at a Dallas hospital, where she led the neurosciences, orthopedic, and rehabilitation divisions. In this role, she advanced strategic alignment with physician partners, expanded the orthopedic and neurosurgical programs, and played a key role in stroke center reaccreditation. She previously served as director of rehabilitation services and inpatient rehabilitation center, overseeing about 200 team members while achieving CARF accreditation, driving sustained volume growth and leading a full compliance transformation. Her experience also includes guiding multiple innovations across other rehabilitation and ambulatory care settings.

“I’ve been passionate about rehabilitation since the start of my career when I became a physical therapist,” Fischer says. “Rehabilitative care is about more than recovery; it’s about restoring independence and empowering patients to reclaim their lives. I’m honored to join ClearSky Mansfield and lead a team dedicated to delivering exceptional outcomes and compassionate, patient-centered care for the communities we serve.”

Fischer earned a bachelor’s degree in exercise science and a doctor of physical therapy from Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She earned a master’s degree in business administration from Concordia University Wisconsin.
