His advocacy efforts align closely with VGM’s mission to support providers through education, advocacy, and business solutions across clinical mobility and accessibility markets.  

Supporting Long-Term Success 

“I’m honored to take on this new role and continue supporting the dedicated providers who make such an impact on the lives of their patients,” Filippis said. “I look forward to supporting providers’ growth, innovation, and long-term success.”
