REMSA Health CEO Barry Duplantis shares the fiscal year end report
As a wrap-up to fiscal year 2023, Barry Duplantis, President and CEO shared an update with employees.
We are already almost two months into the new year – the new fiscal year! Just like many of us do at the start of a new calendar year, it is important to also reflect on the fiscal year we just closed out and look ahead to what we are aiming to accomplish in the coming months.
Most importantly, I want to recognize the incredibly hard work that all of you contribute every day. Your dedication to caring for the communities we serve is what enables us to reach such remarkable results. I am continually impressed by your compassion and clinical excellence, as well as your commitment to advancing the delivery of out-of-hospital healthcare.
