PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WebPT, the leading web-based electronic medical record (EMR) solution for physical, occupational and speech therapists, today announced the appointment of Dr. Heidi Jannenga, PT, DPT, ATC/L, as company president. Dr. Jannenga co-founded the company with her husband, Brad, in 2008, and she previously served as the company’s chief operating officer (COO).
Dr. Jannenga, who has more than 15 years of experience as a physical therapist and multi-clinic site director, helped establish WebPT after recognizing the need for a more sophisticated industry-specific EMR platform. In her tenure as COO, Heidi guided the company through several achievements, including three consecutive appearances on the Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies, a significant investment from the global investment firm Battery Ventures and two strategic acquisitions of software companies. Dr. Jannenga also has been recognized as a leader in her community numerous times, having been named one of AZ Big Media’s 50 Most Influential Women in Business, one of the Phoenix Business Journal’s Most Admired Leaders and a finalist for the prestigious ATHENA Award.
Chelsea Stoner, a WebPT board member and general partner at Battery Ventures, said she’s confident Dr. Jannenga’s recent appointment will help propel the company’s expansion and growth.
Dr. Jannenga, Arizona Physical Therapy Association’s 2015 Physical Therapist of the Year, said the title change represents an exciting new chapter in WebPT’s history.
“I'm honored to partner with our dedicated board and CEO, Paul Winandy, as well as our amazing team and the entire rehab therapy community, in service of this incredible company that is committed to empowering therapists to achieve greatness in practice,” said Dr. Jannenga. “I am proud of the success WebPT has accomplished and even more thrilled about all the impactful, innovative things on the horizon."
As president, Dr. Jannenga will lead WebPT’s product vision, company culture and branding efforts, while increasing her efforts to advocate for the physical therapy profession on a national scale.
"It’s no surprise to see Heidi evolve from an industry-leading physical therapist to a SaaS executive leading the PT industry," said WebPT board member Brad Jannenga. “Her impact on the field of physical therapy thus far has been incredible, and she’s just getting started.”
