Gary also details how Creative Solutions has strengthened relationships with hospital partners and why he believes the industry must push back against an increasingly punitive regulatory environment — including problematic trends in nursing home surveys. Looking ahead, he outlines the company’s plan to significantly expand its Texas footprint.
