"The significance of compliance in the dynamic value-based care industry cannot be overstated.

We are thrilled to welcome a leader of Derek's caliber and integrity to the Vytalize team," said Faris Ghawi, CEO and Co-Founder of Vytalize.

I have never been so energized by company culture like I am here at Vytalize. I'm excited to work with a collaborative and innovative team dedicated to excellence. Together, we will create systems and practices to ensure providers can deliver safe, high-quality, coordinated care to patients across the country," said Kang.
