Align Networks, a One Call Care Management business unit and provider of workers’ compensation physical medicine programs, has announced that Kim Radcliffe, PT, MHA, has been promoted to president of the business unit. Align Networks manages a specialized workers’ compensation provider network of outpatient rehabilitation facilities throughout the United States. According to an Align Networks news release, Radcliffe most recently served as vice president of operations and has been with Align Networks since 2006.
