First Choice Appoints New CFO to Help Lead Company Through Next Phase of Strategic Execution
July 27 2017 - 8:30AM
First Choice Healthcare Solutions,
Inc. (OTCQB:FCHS) ("FCHS," "First Choice" or the
"Company"), one of the nation's only non-physician-owned, publicly
traded healthcare services companies focused on the delivery of
total musculoskeletal solutions with an emphasis on Orthopaedics
and spine care, today announced that it has appointed Phillip J.
Keller as its Chief Financial Officer, who assumed the position on
July 24, 2017.
"As First Choice continues to mature into a nationally
recognized name in the healthcare arena, we remain focused on
taking the necessary steps to drive shareholder value for years to
come. While we’re certainly encouraged by our early success, we
have much work to do at both the operational level as well as in
preparation to up-list our shares to a national exchange,” stated
Chris Romandetti, President and Chief Executive Officer of First
Choice. “Phillip Keller, with his extensive background in
healthcare and proven ability to deliver results within a public
company setting, is the ideal man for the job. During our
extensive interview process, which took First Choice on a national
search for a CFO, Mr. Keller stood out as a CFO that had
aspirations which aligned with ours and brought the skill set
necessary to get the job done. We are excited to have him
onboard.”
From 2014 through 2015, Mr. Keller served as SVP of Finance and
CFO of RehabCare Inc., a provider of physical, occupational and
speech-language rehabilitation services to hospitals, skilled
nursing facilities and home care settings in 47 states across the
U.S. Prior to joining RehabCare Inc. in 2014, Mr. Keller served as
SVP of Finance of PharMerica, Inc. (NYSE:PMC), an institutional
pharmacy servicing skilled nursing and assisted living facilities,
hospitals and other long term alternative care facilities. Other
previous executive posts have included SVP of Finance and Principal
Accounting Officer of BioScrip, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIOS).
In hiring Mr. Keller, First Choice acquires expertise in
corporate finance and accounting, SEC compliance, financial
planning and analysis, Sarbanes Oxley and internal auditing,
treasury management, debt restructuring, and revenue cycle
management.
“I’m excited to have joined First Choice. While many might think
that it was First Choice’s early growth that attracted me to the
enterprise, it was actually the rare opportunity to be able to join
a company that can potentially revolutionize the delivery of a
complete orthopaedic and spine care platform within the industry,”
said Phillip Keller, newly appointed CFO of First Choice.
“Over the next few months, I will work closely with management to
identify our greatest opportunities for growth, to identify
additional areas for unlocking the profit potential of the
business, and to identify areas where we can maximize value for our
shareholders. I look forward to getting started.”
