US Post Acute Care LLC, a Management Services Organization for post-acute medical services, announced today the selection of the leadership team. The Company was formed in December 2019 to build system-oriented solutions to the challenges of post-acute medicine on a national basis. Founder and CEO Darren Swenson MD assembled a team of healthcare executives with the experience and vision to deliver a better model for clinical practice in post=acute medical facilities.

Darren Swenson MD, Founder and CEO, brings to USPAC over 20 years’ experience as a physician executive. Triple Board certified, Dr. Swenson’s vision is to create an environment of action and accountability based on a high level of engagement between facility administration, clinical staff, patients and families. Two years ago, he founded Tacoma-based Swenson Healthcare, a major provider of post-acute medicine in the Pacific Northwest. Formerly, Dr. Swenson was the Division VP of Graduate Medical Education for a 340-bed hospital for HCA. From 2008 to 2014 Dr. Swenson was the Regional Director of Medical Affairs for IPC Healthcare, a national provider of acute and post-acute medicine.

Formerly, Marcie was Vice President at InteliStaf Healthcare, where she managed operations, talent acquisition and business development.

Dahan Pham CPA, CFO has over 20 years of management experience in accounting, finance, and IT in healthcare and other industries.

Elizabeth was formerly a healthcare attorney and has clinical experience as a registered nurse.

Commenting on the newly assembled team, Dr. Swenson commented, “This team has come together to fulfill one mission: to empower physicians and advanced practitioners to deliver better quality and efficiency of patient care in post-acute facilities. Traditionally, post-acute clinicians relied on whatever support was available from multispecialty groups or health systems not designed to meet the specific needs of post-acute medicine. US Post Acute Care is designed to fill this niche in a unique and underserved market.”
