The Smilist Management, Inc. announced on May 8 the appointment of Andrew Mintz as Chief Executive Officer.

Mintz brings a wealth of expertise to this role, having previously served as CEO for several successful healthcare services platforms, according to a news release. He has a culture-first approach, an innovative mindset and the strategic capabilities to scale organizations and drive value for stakeholders.

Mintz's hiring comes after a year of impressive growth for The Smilist, in which the organization added 15 locations and entered two new states, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. The Smilist is backed by Zenyth Partners and also last year welcomed new investor partners to the business, a consortium led by funds managed by BlackRock and by Manulife Investment Management, to support and accelerate the company's growth.

Robert Feuer, managing partner of Zenyth Partners and co-founder and chairman of The Smilist, said in the news release that Mintz is a "transformational leader that will propel The Smilist and our teams into the next phase of growth and innovation while advancing our commitment to our providers, patients and staff. 

Mintz said The Smilist has a strong brand, a deep operational foundation, clear values and a dedication to high-quality patient care.

"In the next phase of development, we'll look to further enhance The Smilist's standing in the market with strategic initiatives aimed at building upon our strengths, differentiating our services and enhancing patient and employee experiences," he said.
