"This is yet another part of our meaningful commitment to notably build on what's so fundamental and important about this company – its passion for health measurement and its people," noted Larry Marsh, General Partner at VSCP.

Mr. Hart's career spans over three decades, as he has served in a diverse range of finance leadership roles in the healthcare sector. Mr. Hart has been the Chief Financial Officer at expanding organizations in the behavioral health and eye care sectors, and the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer in the surgical center industry at National Surgical Healthcare, Inc.
