Privately held U.S. HealthWorks, the nation’s second largest operator of outpatient occupational health and urgent care centers, today announced the appointment of David Lamm as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) effective today.
Mr. Lamm replaces Robert DiProva, Senior Vice President of Finance and Administration, who steps down today. Mr. DiProva has been at U.S. HealthWorks since August 2002 and led the Finance Department since November 2003, playing a key role in supporting the balance sheet restructuring in 2004 and 2005, the dramatic improvements to the Company’s performance and in the acquisition of the Company by a new ownership group in December 2006.
“Bob has been a key member of our management team,” said Daniel D. Crowley, Chief Executive Officer of U.S. HealthWorks. “We have enjoyed working with him immensely, we appreciate his consistently valuable contributions to the organization and we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
Mr. Crowley continued: “David Lamm will be a strong addition to our management team. He comes to U.S. HealthWorks from Kaiser Permanente, where he was National Vice President of Patient Billing Services and prior to that Vice President and Controller of Kaiser’s California Division. During the 1990s, he was CFO of two publicly traded technology companies and Vice President, Finance of the Information Technologies Division of McKesson Corporation. Prior to that he was a Vice President, Finance, for a subsidiary of American Airlines and an auditor for a major accounting firm.
“We intend to grow the business rapidly, and Finance and Operations will be working together to identify and evaluate potential acquisitions,” said Mr. Crowley. “One of David’s first tasks at U.S. HealthWorks will be to evaluate options for relocating the Company’s headquarters to California, while maintaining a regional operations center in Alpharetta. With more than half of the Company’s business is in California, we believe performance can be enhanced by having the Finance Department near our California Operations and Billing Center.”
U.S. HealthWorks was founded in 1995 and is a leading national operator of occupational health and urgent care centers specializing in injury care, early return-to-work programs, injury prevention and wellness programs. Operating 114 medical centers in 13 states with more than 2,000 employees and approximately 350 affiliated physicians, U.S. HealthWorks centers serve more than 10,000 patients each day.
