“Forward thinking healthcare providers like the team at Newman Regional Health Medical Partners understand the importance of improving patient care and outcomes through the RHC approach,” explained Kate Hill, VP of TCT’s Clinic Division.  “The communities they serve now receive even better care as a result of their time and dedication to securing the Exemplary Provider™ distinction.”
