Owned by Physicians
MANA clinics are physician owned practices. Focused on patient care, the
physicians retain the quality, personal clinic environment as a physician
owned practice. Physicians
make the decisions that shape excellent patient care in MANA practices.
By working together physicians in MANA can responsibly manage the costs
associated with health care, improve our practice efficiencies, and enhance
overall care for patients. A board of directors elected by the physicians governs MANA. The board is
advised and assisted by four principal leaders:
Jason Wilson, Chief Executive Officer; Paula Maxwell,
Chief Operating Officer; John Jordin, Chief Informational Officer; and Paula Storment, Chief Financial Officer.
