Athens Orthopedic Clinic (AOC) has named Mike Boblitz as its new chief executive officer (CEO), effective as of 3 February 2025.
Bringing more than 20 years of healthcare leadership experience, Boblitz is set to steer AOC through its next phase of strategic initiatives, community engagement, clinical operations and the organisation’s expansion in Northeast Georgia.
Boblitz said: “Athens Orthopedic Clinic has been blessed to serve the community for nearly six decades.
“The healthcare industry is changing rapidly, and with these changes come both challenges and opportunities. I’m honoured to partner with the talented team at AOC and the broader Athens and surrounding communities to develop a new roadmap for the next 50 years.”
Boblitz’s connection to orthopaedics traces back to his childhood in Charlottesville, Virginia, where his father served as the chief of orthopaedics at UVA for 49 years.
Boblitz added: “At AOC, we avoid the ‘ping-pong effect’ for patients. Whether it’s physical therapy, outpatient surgery, or advanced diagnostics, we provide a seamless experience under one roof with a single medical record. Specialisation matters, and we’re committed to offering affordable, accessible, and world-class care.”
