“Phil’s significant experience in healthcare, and in sales and marketing, will be an asset as we continue our rapid growth,” said David Langsam, President and CEO of AdvantEdge. “In recent years, our growth in revenue and personnel has earned AdvantEdge recognition among the Inc. 5000 and the NJBIZ 50 Fastest Growing Companies. Now, with Phil spearheading new business development and strategic growth initiatives, we expect to build upon our success and further expand the AdvantEdge footprint across the United States.”

“Today’s healthcare environment is increasingly dynamic and complex, further reinforcing the importance of deep expertise in reimbursement and financial management services,” said Bolger. “AdvantEdge’s client-centered approach to driving financial and compliance performance with expert, caring people, powerful technology, and actionable business intelligence perfectly aligns with those market needs. I’m excited to play an integral role in further advancing AdvantEdge’s leadership and growth by serving healthcare providers.”
