San Clemente, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/30/2015 --Following a year of unprecedented growth and expansion, Sovereign Health is pleased to announce the addition of three new executives to its Orange County headquarters. Bringing a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the program, the new positions include a Group Medical Director, Director of Clinical Excellence and Associate Director of Clinical Compliance, helping to guide development and maintain Sovereign's commitment to excellence.

Dr. Omar Faruk has signed on as the Group Medical Director, overseeing its medical and clinical operations in addition to its strategic development.

"I advise, review and maintain medical standards with the aim of assuring the quality of medical and clinical care to Sovereign Health's patients."

Founding his own treatment centers and having been nominated as Physician of the Year in the past for exhibiting excellence in patient care, Dr. Faruk will help Sovereign and its clinicians maintain the highest standard of excellence.

Also helping to ensure that same commitment to quality is another recent addition, Dr. Meghan Marcum, who will be serving as Director of Clinical Excellence.
