BOLINGBROOK, Ill., April 28,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ATI Physical
Therapy ("ATI" or the "Company") (NYSE: ATIP), the largest
single-branded outpatient physical therapy provider
in the United States, today announced the appointment
of Sharon Vitti as Chief Executive Officer. Vitti will
lead ATI in executing its vision of providing access to the
highest-quality musculoskeletal care and patient experience while
driving creative revenue models, including the adoption of
value-based care and B2B offerings in physical therapy.
Vitti, 57, has 30 years of healthcare experience, including
nearly two decades of executive leadership at industry-leading
clinical and consumer-focused healthcare companies. She joins
ATI after serving as president of MinuteClinic, the national
walk-in medical clinic that provides family care by nurse
practitioners and physician assistants, and senior vice president
at CVS Health, the parent company of MinuteClinic. During her
tenure, she led all aspects of care delivery, business operations
and strategic development. Prior to Vitti's tenure at CVS Health
and MinuteClinic, she served in executive leadership at Brigham and
Women's Hospital, including nine years as Senior Vice President of
Clinical Services for Ambulatory and Women's Health. Vitti received
her Bachelor of Science degree from Clark
University and a Master of Public Administration from
New York University.
"Over the last several months, our Board conducted an extensive
search for the right CEO candidate to lead ATI in delivering the
outstanding patient care we are known for," said Jack Larsen,
ATI Chairman. "With Sharon's exceptional record of leading and
innovating programs in a large, multi-location business, we are
confident that she is the ideal person for this role. She has the
expertise to lead ATI in serving a growing range of patients and
customers across all our lines of business, and to do it in a way
that supports and empowers our team to deliver their highest
quality of patient care. After many conversations, I know her
MinuteClinic experience will fit seamlessly with the work of our
clinicians and supporting the quality care they deliver."
Vitti is stepping into the role at what she says is a pivotal
time in healthcare. She is one of the few female executives to lead
a major national physical therapy company, a field in which some
60-70 percent of clinicians are women.
"I am honored to have been selected and am ready to lead a
company that is dedicated first and foremost to its patients and to
its people, which puts us on the right side of healthcare. ATI is
an established and highly innovative company that thrives on
improving the health and daily lives of our patients, which will be
even more vital in the months and years ahead," Vitti said. "We
have the team, the vision and the plan to deliver both outstanding
patient outcomes and successful business results. I look forward to
working with our dedicated clinical team, support staff and ATI
management to accomplish new milestones ahead."
