Tina Vidal-Duart currently serves as the CEO of CDR Health Care, Inc. and Executive Vice President of CDR Maguire, Inc., providing operational oversight and leadership to the 80-year-old engineering, emergency management, and disaster health and medical consulting firm which serves multiple state and local governments. With 20 years of experience, she is considered an industry expert in healthcare management, start-ups, corporate restructurings, and mergers and acquisitions.

Most recently, CDR was selected by the Florida Division of Emergency Management to open a 100-bed field alternative care medical facility and emergency department in Ft. Myers in response to emergent medical needs post Hurricane Ian.

Since the Hurricane made landfall, CDR launched the field alternative care site and emergency department, deployed a mobile medical center for urgent care needs, and provided approximately 500 medical staff to service residents with medical needs. Prior to that, the Company was asked to take over COVID-19 vaccinations of long-term care facilities from CVS and Walgreens. As principal on the project, Ms. Vidal-Duart and her team vaccinated over 3,000 facilities in 3 weeks, decreasing the COVID-19 infection rate by 75% during that initial term, and by 90% over the life of the project. Ultimately, CDR has vaccinated over 3 million people, tested over 4 million people, and provided monoclonal antibodies to approximately 150,000. At the beginning of the pandemic, Vidal-Duart served as the Chief Executive Officer of the State of Florida COVID-19 Infectious Disease Field Hospital System where she oversaw the management and deployment of the State’s field hospital system and its healthcare and administrative support personnel. The firm also launched a call center that handled 200,000+ calls per day for the State and developed CDR HealthProTM, a patient portal for patients to register for COVID-19 testing, vaccination, and monoclonal antibodies. The system was used statewide in Florida, as well as multiple FEMA vaccination sites in Florida and Kentucky. The Company has provided COVID-19 related services across 5 states, including Florida, South Carolina, Massachusetts, Kentucky, and Texas.
