Mr. Guillama has extensive experience in multiple segments of healthcare including payers and insurance, managed care operations, provider network development, and the creation and management of clinics, ancillary & diagnostic facilities. His experience serving on the Board of a hospital and a medical education company will be extremely valuable to the Company as it expands its urgent care footprint and articulates the value proposition of urgent care to payers, providers, purchasers, and patients.
Mr. Guillama commented, "I am pleased to join Erik and the Company as they embark on their urgent care growth strategy. I have a great passion in demonstrating how systems and technologies in healthcare can improve both quality of care and efficiency of care. With my experience in acquisitions, financing, and healthcare operations, I am confident that I will be able to provide advice and guidance to the Company as they proceed on their strategic pathway to establish their pivotal role in value-based, accountable healthcare." Mr. Guillama further commented, "The majority of the 9,000 plus urgent care facilities in the US today are small businesses consisting of 1 to 3 clinics. The urgent care sector of the health care industry has seen high growth in the marginal economy of the last five years, and we see this trend continuing and accelerating going forward. We believe the sector is ripe for consolidation because of the urgent care concept firmly taking root, with both patients and practitioners, and experiencing what we consider the sweet spot of the growth curve. We feel this business model will help Capital Group grow exponentially as a company."
