Assembly Health, a leading provider of AI-enabled revenue cycle management and practice support services for healthcare organizations nationwide, announced that Kevin Offel has been appointed chief executive officer, effective Sept. 4.
Offel succeeds Jack Fitzgibbons, who led Assembly through a period of rapid expansion and will transition to an executive advisor role with Shore Capital Partners, Assembly Health’s investment partner. Fitzgibbons will remain closely involved to ensure a smooth leadership transition.

He is a proven operator with a history of driving growth and cultivating high-performing teams. Kevin’s combination of strategic insight, healthcare expertise, and servant leadership makes him the ideal person to lead Assembly into its next stage of growth and success.”
Offel brings more than 25 years of healthcare leadership experience, with a career spanning both large-scale and middle-market enterprises. He has led multiple private equity–backed companies as CEO or president, including Great Lakes Dental Partners, Centennial Hospice, Heart to Heart Hospice and My Dentist.
