“As a company, we strive to continue to grow in our existing communities, while expanding into new markets to provide the highest quality of care possible,” said Beckman. “I’m fortunate to have strong leaders at all levels of our organization, working beside me and in our offices across the country. I am grateful to these leaders and to my team for their continued commitment to ensuring our patients receive the high-quality service they deserve, as well as to the two organizations that have honored us with these awards.”
