About the Client

The client is an innovative US-based physicians network that has been delivering high-quality healthcare to elderly patients in assisted and independent living communities, group homes, and private homes for more than five years.

Our client has 50 full-time healthcare clinicians (board-certified physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, podiatrists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and wound-care specialists) who visit patients in the comfort of their own homes.
