Mr. Witte comes to TriHealth after having spent the last five years as the Chief Executive Officer for Family Medical Group, a physician practice with three locations and over 90 team members serving 30,000 patients in Cincinnati. While at The Family Medical Group, Mark was responsible for leading the group’s National Committee for Quality Assurance- Patient Centered Medical Home application which resulted in a Level 3 recognition, the highest level achieved. Witte graduated from Josephinum College (OH) and has a Master’s degree in Education from Mt. St. Joseph (1987).

“Both Lisa and Mark are very well respected in the Cincinnati medical community.
