This included the acquisition of 23 outpatient clinics, development of an employee assistance program, development of an extensive marketing program including public relations strategies, and donations.

In addition to dealing with business / organization / financial systems Mr. Mohr has a proven history of reengineering the medical delivery system. This was accomplished by bringing doctors and nurses together in an integrated healthcare team approach to define what the patient needed in order to enhance their quality of health care. One of the keys to these development goals was the integration of a hospital based nursing school where student nurses were involved in a team interactive learning process with hospital staff nurses, allied health professionals, and doctors. These nursing students when completing their 5-year bond were highly sought after in Singapore and the Middle East.

One particular international facility was losing 14 million on 28 million Gross revenue, owed 7 million in taxes, had a 20 million loan at 14% interest and could not make payroll. When Mr. Mohr left, the facility had a gross revenue of 200 million, a profit of 12 million, 79 doctors, 30 new clinics, and was a market leader in Medical tourism with its leading cardiac program of 600 open heart, 400 closed heart cardiac surgical procedures a year, 200 cardiac outpatients a day, and a quality outcomes leader used by an international standards group to develop quality guidelines for cardiac surgery. This included the development of a program for pediatric cardiac surgery funded by Rotary Club Malaysia that helped 400 children needing heart surgery from Malaysia, Cambodia, Viet Nam, and Philippines. This same international facility grew to approximately 60,000 patients per year for inpatient and outpatient visits with a significant component derived from their Medical Tourism Program.

While CEO of this International Medical Facility the associated nursing school was developed to an advanced status and was considered a top school with 100% nursing boards passage rate for all nursing students in all years.

Later, while still in Malaysia, he was asked to join one of Khazanah’s sub corporations as Director of Healthcare at International Medical University (IMU) for the development of medical clinics and the hospital in Kuala Lumpur.
