FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MEDNAX, Inc. (NYSE: MD), the nation’s leading provider of maternal-fetal, newborn and pediatric subspecialty care, today announced that C. Marc Richards has been appointed as Executive Vice President. The Company anticipates that Mr. Richards will assume the additional role of Chief Financial Officer in October 2020, succeeding Stephen D. Farber, who has announced his plan to depart the Company to pursue other leadership opportunities.

“On behalf of the Company and the Board of Directors, we want to thank Stephen for his many contributions during a period of significant transformation over the last two years,” said Mark S. Ordan, Chief Executive Officer, and Guy Sansone, Chair of MEDNAX’s Board of Directors. “We have both worked with Marc Richards over many years, and we are excited that he brings a wealth of experience that can ensure a seamless transition and help guide the financial success of our organization.”

“I believe MEDNAX is well positioned for growth and success, and that its financial strength is aligned to support that success,” said Mr. Farber. “I’m most proud to have supported an organization with a long established mission to take great care of the patient, and to have played a role in fulfilling that commitment.”

Mr. Richards joins MEDNAX with an extensive background in corporate finance and management, and more than 20 years in senior level positions at public companies. Most recently, he served as Chief Financial Officer of Quality Care Properties (QCP), one of the nation’s largest actively managed real estate companies focused on post-acute/skilled nursing and memory care/assisted living properties. In this role he oversaw the spin-off of QCP from Healthcare Property Investors and the eventual merger of QCP with Welltower. Prior to QCP, Mr. Richards served first as Chief Financial Officer and then as Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer at Washington Prime Group Inc., where he held responsibility for all financial reporting and tax matters and oversaw the integration of Washington Prime and Glimcher Realty Trust. He also previously served in executive and finance roles at Sunrise Senior Living, LLC, JE Robert Companies, JER Investors Trust, Republic Property Trust, and The Mills Corporation.
