TL;DR
American Family Care has named Paige Robinson as Vice President of Franchise Development to drive the company's aggressive growth goals. Robinson will oversee the franchise development team to spearhead growth in new markets and support existing franchisees.
Paige is no stranger to the AFC brand. She began her career with the healthcare powerhouse seven years ago as the Director of National Sales and Marketing. Most recently, she held the position of Director of Franchise Development.
In her new position as Vice President, Robinson looks to build on the company’s momentum toward its aggressive growth goals - goals that have garnered a 132% increase in franchises sold in 2021 over the previous year.
“AFC's vision is to become one of the most widely known and admired brands in healthcare, and I believe that we're well on our way to meeting that target,” says Robinson. “I'm filled with gratitude every day to be a part of the healthcare revolution and enjoy the time that I get to spend developing candidates and sharing about our incredible brand.”
Robinson will oversee the AFC franchise development team as it spearheads growth in new markets, supports existing franchisees, and identifies new franchise partners who align with the brand’s mission for success.
"Paige possesses an extensive level of knowledge, expertise, and a passion for the future of our franchise,” says Dr. Bruce Irwin, Founder and CEO of AFC. “We are grateful to have her leading our franchise development team and thrilled that this promotion came from within our own ranks.”
