In the News This Month
Season's Greetings Everyone,
It's hard to believe the holiday season is upon us. Once again we reflect on another busy year filled with regulatory changes and updates helping provide solutions for the many ripple effects healthcare organizations are still experiencing from the pandemic.
As we come to the close of 2022, and in keeping with the Courtemanche & Associate's tradition, our feature article this December, "Top 12 Items for your 2023 To Do List" provides some "house-keeping" suggestions to assist in preparing you for regulatory expectations in the new year.
We appreciate each and every one of you, for your dedication and incredible patient care that you provide every day, and we thank you for your readership and patronage. The C&A team looks forward to continuing ongoing partnerships as well as developing new relationships in the upcoming year.
