TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 12, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CTI has hired Dr. Manoj Pawar, former acting Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI), as its new CMO.

At CHI, Dr. Pawar was responsible for overseeing quality of care and hospital medicine service line for 102 hospitals in 19 states, 503,000 annual admissions, $23B in assets and $15.2B in operating revenue.

According to Dr. Pawar, one of his most rewarding experiences at CHI was leading and developing its 900-provider hospitalist organization.
