The Athena team is led by founding partner Lawrence G. Santilli. He believed in the overriding principle of “Protecting the Quality of Life” while maintaining a business model of steady, deliberate growth. Those principles have held true since Athena’s founding in 1984, as Athena now operates a network of 25 skilled nursing facilities, hospice, and private duty care services spanning three states.
Mr. Santilli leads a team of highly qualified professionals who bring diverse backgrounds in management experience, covering all facets of health care and business management to the continuum. Their knowledge is deep, their approach is creative and informed, and their expertise is varied, including day-to-day operations, financial management, regulatory compliance, clinical care, public relations, marketing, and much more.
