FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 1, 2025 – Pediatrix Medical Group, Inc. (NYSE: MD), a leading provider of physician services, today announced that its board of directors has appointed Kurt D. Newman, M.D., former President and Chief Executive Officer of Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C. and Professor Emeritus of Surgery and Pediatrics at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, as an independent director, effective July 1, 2025.

Dr. Newman, a surgeon and nationally recognized leader in pediatric healthcare and a long-term healthcare executive, served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Children's National Hospital for 12 years, after spending over 25 years there as a pediatric surgeon. Dr. Newman fostered a culture of patient-centered care and championed a culture of innovation in research, operations and clinical care. Dr. Newman is a strong advocate for expanding mental health access for children and has led two national forums on this issue. He is the author of a best-selling book, “Healing Children: a Surgeon's Stories from the Frontiers of Pediatric Medicine.” Dr. Newman was recognized as “CEO of the Year” by the Washington Business Journal in 2021 and inducted into the Washington Business Hall of Fame in 2023.

“On behalf of the Pediatrix board, I am honored to welcome Dr. Newman,” said Guy Sansone, Pediatrix Lead Independent Director. “Dr. Newman’s clinical insight, patient-centric perspective, and profound understanding of the healthcare landscape will be invaluable as we navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead. We look forward to Dr. Newman’s contributions as we work together to advance our mission.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Newman. His deep understanding of patient needs, clinical practices and the evolving healthcare landscape will be a tremendous asset to Pediatrix leadership,” said Mark S. Ordan, Chair of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer.

“It is a great honor to join the board of Pediatrix, an organization that plays a significant role in caring for the most vulnerable patients and a vital role in advancing clinical excellence,” said Dr. Kurt Newman. “The physician voice is central to patient-centered decision making. I look forward to contributing my experience to strengthen collaboration between physicians, other clinicians, executive leadership and the board so that patient care remains at the forefront, with the goal of building a more sustainable, resilient and effective healthcare system for all."

Dr. Newman serves on the boards of Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Corus International, Fight for Children and the Potomac Conservancy and previously served on the boards of Children’s National Hospital and YMCA Camp Sea Gull/Seafarer.
