"I am excited to join the WebPT board to help accelerate solutions that improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs—which is exactly what the rehab therapy industry is uniquely positioned to do," said Osborne.

I look forward to working with the WebPT team to help expand rehab therapy's impact at scale."

To do this, WebPT has worked diligently over the years to provide physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists with the clinical and operational software they need to provide better care and optimize patient outcomes allowing them to amplify their value to the greater healthcare community. As the new Chief Product, Marketing, and Growth Officer, Andrea Facini will work with the Product and Marketing teams to accelerate innovation and develop industry-leading products that continue to delight our customers.

Facini is a senior executive with more than 25 years of experience helping companies transform the way they build and deliver products, services, and go-to-market strategies. Most recently, Facini was president of ACTIVE Network. Prior to ACTIVE, he served in product and marketing leadership roles at Social Solutions, Monster Worldwide, Warner Bros. Discovery, and CNN. 

"As WebPT enters its 15th year of business, I enthusiastically welcome Andrea and Marcus to WebPT," said Heidi Jannenga, PT, DPT, ATC, co-founder and Chief Clinical Officer. "Now more than ever, rehab therapists require solutions that will help them practice more efficiently in an increasingly digital and value-based healthcare landscape.
