Chuck Thigpen is the chief clinical and strategy officer at ATI Physical Therapy, where he oversees clinical roles across the United States. With 450 open clinical positions, Thigpen highlights the pressing need for qualified therapists amid a workforce shortage. He has raised concerns about the implications of a new $100,000 fee on H-1B visas for hiring international talent, suggesting that such financial barriers could lead to clinic closures and negatively affect patient care.
