After seven years, U.S. Oral Surgery Management (USOSM) President and CEO Richard Hall is stepping-down. As of July 1, he will now serve as Chairman of the USOSM Board of Directors. The new CEO is Doug Drew, a seasoned healthcare executive with more than 30 years of leadership experience.
“Let me be the first to welcome Doug Drew as USOSM’s new CEO,” says Hall. “All organizations face the looming prospect of CEO transitions, regardless of their size, industry or ownership. I am particularly pleased that our leadership team worked with our board to address this proactively and to ensure a smooth transition. Doug understands the unique needs and challenges of doctor-led organizations and is deeply committed to preserving what makes our profession exceptional: clinical independence, compassionate patient care and a shared standard of excellence. Doug’s collaborative leadership style and strong track record of supporting specialists, doctors and care teams make him the ideal person to guide USOSM through our next phase of growth.”
Hall joined USOSM in February 2018 as employee number three, shepherding it through its early growth and continued development. Hall notes that while he will officially be retiring from his role as CEO, he will continue to be actively involved in USOSM and its development.
“It has been one of the greatest honors of my career to help build this company, alongside so many dedicated professionals and exceptional surgeon partners. Together, we’ve grown USOSM into a respected, premium MSO with a reputation for integrity, partnership and clinical excellence," says Hall. "As I step into this next chapter, I remain fully committed to USOSM and its continued success. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together – and I’m excited for what’s still to come.”
An accomplished senior executive with more than 30 years of experience leading and growing businesses, primarily in multi-site organizations, Drew is known for delivering financial results and building strong, purpose-led cultures.
“I’m honored to join U.S. Oral Surgery Management as CEO at such an exciting time in its journey,” says Drew. “I deeply believe in USOSM’s passion -- to deliver exceptional patient care, while supporting our world-class surgeons and clinical teams. I’d like to extend my sincere gratitude to Rick Hall for his leadership and vision. He has laid a strong foundation upon which we will continue to build. I’m excited for what’s ahead, as we continue to lead our profession and further elevate the standard of oral surgery care nationwide.”
