Simione, III, Managing Principal, Simione Healthcare Consultants.
"Success in home care and hospice requires that agencies have the right people, and our goal is to help develop current and future leaders in the field. We are pleased to welcome the team of Healthcare Concepts to Simione as part of our Exact Recruiting solution. They will help us build upon our long history of collaboration with industry recruiters to facilitate a higher level of quality, efficiency and financial performance in home care and hospice," Bill Simione said.
Simione Principal Eric Scharber, who leads all talent management activities, said, "We are pleased to welcome the team of Healthcare Concepts to expand our efforts and help clients develop effective talent strategies to achieve more.
