Show Notes

Joining us in this episode of RETHINK is Gary Blake, CEO of Creative Solutions in Health Care, who shares his outlook for 2026 and the strategies that helped the company thrive in 2025. He breaks down operational moves that improved staffing stability and explains how expanding the use of nurse practitioners has reduced hospital transfers while raising patient satisfaction.

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.
