Hendrickson, PACS Group’s newly appointed Chief Financial Officer<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \nMr. Hendrickson will be succeeding Mark Hancock, PACS\u2019s co-founder and Executive Vice Chairman who had been appointed interim CFO in September 2025. As the company announced in a separate release, Mr. Hancock will be retiring from the company and transitioning out of his role as an executive officer by June 30, 2026, while remaining on PACS\u2019s Board of Directors as Vice Chairman.<\/p>\n \n\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to welcome Carey to the PACS family as our Chief Financial Officer,\u201d said Jason Murray, Chairman and CEO of PACS Group. \u201cCarey is exactly the kind of leader we were looking for at PACS. He\u2019s a seasoned public company CFO who\u2019s navigated complex healthcare operating environments, delivered results through every kind of market cycle, and built the financial infrastructure that growing organizations need to sustain excellence at scale. At the same time, I\u2019m incredibly grateful for Mark\u2019s leadership and vision at PACS since its founding in 2013. His continued contribution on the Board of Directors will be invaluable.\u201d<\/p>\n \nMost recently, Mr. Hendrickson served as CFO of U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. (NYSE: USPH), a national operator of 779 outpatient physical therapy clinics across 44 states. During his tenure at U.S. Physical Therapy, Mr. Hendrickson led all facets of the company’s financial operations, including accounting, SEC reporting, financial planning and analysis, treasury, investor relations, payor contract negotiations and credentialing, revenue cycle management, financial shared services, taxes, and human resources. Among his most significant accomplishments, he negotiated a new credit agreement that expanded the company’s debt capacity, extended its maturity, and enhanced financial flexibility. In addition, he oversaw due diligence and integration for more than 20 acquisitions.<\/p>\n \nPrior to U.S. Physical Therapy, Mr. Hendrickson served as Executive Vice President and CFO of Capital Senior Living Corporation (NYSE: CSU), one of the nation\u2019s largest senior living operators with 128 communities and nearly 12,000 residents across 23 states. His six years at Capital Senior Living gave him direct, hands-on experience in the highly regulated, reimbursement-sensitive environment of senior care \u2014 experience that translates directly to the skilled nursing and post-acute setting PACS operates in today. His accomplishments there included negotiating early exit from underperforming leases, relieving the company of more than $250 million in future obligations, and leading financial integration across a complex multi-state portfolio.<\/p>\n \n\u201cPACS has built something truly exceptional in post-acute care \u2014 a platform with an unwavering commitment to quality, a remarkable culture of leadership, and a growth story that is both compelling and sustainable,\u201d said Mr. Hendrickson. \u201cI\u2019ve spent much of my career in healthcare and senior care, and I know firsthand how difficult it is to build an organization that consistently delivers clinical excellence at this scale. I\u2019m grateful to join the PACS executive management team and look forward to contributing to the company\u2019s mission.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\u201cCarey\u2019s experience leading finance functions across multiple public healthcare companies gives him a perspective that\u2019s both broad and deeply relevant to what we do every day at PACS. He stood out in every way during our CFO search,\u201d said Mr. Hancock. \u201cI\u2019m proud of what we\u2019ve built, and I\u2019m confident that Carey will be an extraordinary partner to the leadership team and a tremendous asset to the company and our industry. I look forward to watching PACS continue to grow from my seat on the Board.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\u201cCarey has spent his career building the financial infrastructure of complex, regulated healthcare organizations, and earning the trust of boards, analysts, and investors through transparency and consistent execution,\u201d said Murray. \u201cHe\u2019s one of the most accomplished public company CFOs in the healthcare services sector; he knows the world of senior and post-acute care from the inside; and he\u2019s led M&A at organizations whose residents look a great deal like the patients we serve at PACS every day. That background is earned through years of doing the work. Carey has done the work, and he has done it exceptionally well.<\/p>\n \n\u201cHe\u2019s a person of extraordinary integrity and character, and he joins PACS at a moment when our growth trajectory demands exactly the kind of senior financial leadership that he\u2019s demonstrated throughout his career, and we\u2019re honored to welcome him to our team.\u201d<\/p>\n About PACS Group, Inc. <\/b>PACS Group, Inc.
