LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - April 21, 2009) - Outcome
Based Delivery Systems (OBDS), parent company to Canyon Gate Medical Group, has
appointed Mark Avery as president. Avery will oversee OBDS' medical
practices in Las Vegas, South Florida and Orlando. Avery joins OBDS from MGM MIRAGE, where he was a key member
of the leadership team leading the Strategic Sourcing Group, which manages
the company's purchasing process. Based in Las Vegas, Avery will begin with
OBDS on May 1.
As Canyon Gate continues its expansion beyond its current five locations,
Avery brings the vision, leadership and strategic expertise to support this
rapid growth initiative. Throughout more than two decades of executive
roles in companies of all sizes -- from start-ups to Fortune 500
operations, both private and publicly owned -- Avery has built a reputation
for successfully managing complex undertakings. After leading companies
like Burger King and YUM! Brands, Inc. to tens of millions of dollars in
process improvements and advising Fortune 500 companies on how to do the
same as a consultant with EDS, Avery has become known for his ability to
build strategic alliances across business lines, enhance collaboration both
internally and externally and maximize operational efficiency.
Avery brings these skills and others to OBDS, and will lead the company
toward even more aggressive objectives in 2010.
"We are proud to have such a seasoned executive join our senior management
team," said Dr. Eric Moskow, CEO and founder of OBDS. "Mark shares in our
vision that healthcare should be equally available to all people,
regardless of race, creed or financial status. We are deeply concerned
about the unemployed, the Medicaid population and the poverty stricken.
Together, Mark and our leadership team will develop new ways to address
these issues and help make premium healthcare accessible for all residents
of Las Vegas."
Avery has long recognized the positive impact that business savvy can bring
to societal issues. Taking a hiatus from the corporate world in 2001, he
spent three years founding and managing a faith-based nonprofit to serve
individuals recovering from addiction and mental illness. His vision was to
equip them with life and job skills. This experience and others in Avery's
career echo Canyon Gate's commitment to delivering care that is not only
clinically and financially sound, but compassionate as well.
About Canyon Gate Medical Group
Canyon Gate Medical Group delivers highly available, highly personalized
medical services -- known as concierge medical care -- without charging the
membership fee that similar practices require.
Each Canyon Gate patient is matched with one primary doctor who is
available to him/her 24 hours daily for life, and who also serves as a
personal medical liaison during any hospital stays or emergency room
visits, and with other medical specialists. A patient's primary physician
also provides same-day appointments with minimal wait times.
The cornerstone of Canyon Gate's mission is to provide high-quality,
cost-effective healthcare that enables more frequent and regular
patient/physician interaction for early discovery and treatment of
health-related problems. Canyon Gate physicians limit the number of
patients they see to ensure that each medical need receives the utmost
attention and immediate action.
