U.S. Physical Therapy, Inc. announced a key executive leadership transition today. The company appointed Nchacha Etta as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. His official appointment takes effect on September 1, 2026.
Jason Curtis has served as interim Chief Financial Officer since April 24, 2026. He will continue leading financial operations as Senior Vice President.
Etta brings extensive healthcare industry experience to his new role. He recently worked as Chief Financial Officer at Omnicell, Inc. In that role, he directed global finance and technology strategies.
Earlier in his career, Etta served as Chief Financial Officer for Essilor of America. He also worked as Chief Financial Officer at Johnson & Johnson Vision. Furthermore, he held financial positions at The Coca-Cola Company, Microsoft, and Eli Lilly. Additionally, he currently serves on the board of directors at KBR, Inc.
Expanding Executive Leadership for Future Growth
The company operates physical therapy clinics and industrial injury prevention services across the nation. Therefore, hiring a seasoned Chief Financial Officer supports their long-term expansion goals.
“We are excited to welcome Nchacha to our USPH family as our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer following a very comprehensive search,” said Chris Reading, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “Nchacha has a long and proven track record as a public company CFO and senior finance executive for major corporations. In addition to his experience, which is significant, he will be a great cultural fit for us and embodies the servant leadership that we look for in our senior executives. Nchacha has established himself as a person of great character and integrity and our team is looking forward to helping him to settle into his new role with us beginning in September.”
Consequently, the leadership team anticipates a smooth corporate transition this fall.
Mr. Reading continued, “We also are grateful for the continued support from Jason Curtis, our SVP for Finance and Accounting, who stepped up to serve as our Interim CFO during this search process, and will continue to help lead our finance organization in his role as SVP.”
Ultimately, the new Chief Financial Officer will drive ongoing organizational performance across all divisions.
