2025

“The firm is very good at understanding when we can’t do something because there is a patient on the other end of that decision. A lot of people come from different backgrounds, like banking or other entities, and they don’t understand that healthcare is very different, but I don’t have that issue with Fortified Health Security at all. They completely understand.” – Director, April 2023
